| Description: |
Objective 1) Assess the association between tongue position and risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as measured by both Mallampati (MP ‐including classic 3‐level and modified 4‐level scoring with tongue protrusion) and Friedman Tongue Position (FTP‐no tongue protrusion). 2) Determine which of these assessment scales best predicts OSA risk. Method PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Trial Registry (through 12/2011), and relevant article bibliographies were searched. All studies were assessed by 3 reviewers. Systematic review and random‐effects meta‐analysis of studies assessing the association of tongue position and risk of OSA were performed. Outcomes are reported as odds ratios (OR). Results Combined data from 5 studies (46,264 patients) revealed an overall OR of 2.436 (1.828, 3.248; P |
