Our findings show a strong relationship between that complex collapses and concentric velum collapse; patients with greater oropharyngeal collapse have a higher mean AHI. Patients without epiglottic collapse have a higher mean neck circumference. An association between mean pressure initial titration and complex collapse could not be established.
