Objective snoring measurements using sound level indices showed weak correlation with subjective reports. The best correlation occurred in the supine position, using the sound level exceeded by 1% of samples.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Snoring significantly impacts quality of life and sleep.
  • Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is a surgical option for snoring.
  • Objective snoring assessment is crucial for treatment evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare objective snoring sound measurements with subjective snoring assessments before and after UPPP.
  • To identify the most reliable objective sound level index for snoring evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Objective sound level indices were measured in 32 patients before and 6 months after UPPP.
  • Subjective snoring severity was assessed by patients and bed partners.
  • Correlations between objective and subjective data were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Correlations between objective sound measurements and subjective snoring assessments were generally weak.
  • The strongest correlation was observed when considering only the supine posture.
  • The sound level index exceeded by 1% of samples showed the best correlation with subjective snoring.

Conclusions:

  • Objective snoring measurements show limited correlation with subjective perception.
  • Posture significantly influences snoring sound levels and their correlation with subjective reports.
  • Specific sound level indices may offer better objective assessment of snoring severity post-UPPP.
