Conclusion: “The morphometric measurement of oral cavity and acoustic pharyngometry enables an examiner to predict the presence or absence of OSA rapidly and accurately during an initial visit. Through this study we found the sensitivity and specificity of the morphometric measurement of oral cavity to be 89% and 94%, and acoustic pharyngometry are 93% and 94%, respectively. Acoustic pharyngometry is a more accurate method for predicting the presence or absence of OSA.”
