Abstract
Rationale: Mandibular advancement splints (MAS) improve upper airway collapsibility (Pcrit) during sleep in a dose-dependent manner. We have recently shown that a simple wakefulness test, the upper airway collapsibility index (UACI), is closely related to Pcrit during sleep. Here, as a proof-of-concept, we investigated whether the UACI technique can be used to detect improvements in upper airway collapsibility with MAS during wakefulness
