OSA improvement is associated with lower NNV; both OSA and NNV are connected to the degree of protrusion. Therefore, higher NNV does not justify the exclusion of candidates for MAD treatment. PRO changes are not visibly affected by NNV but by general OSA changes. These findings may help to define and optimize future study designs for the primary outcome decision between objective OSA parameters and PRO.
