Are the obstruction patterns during drug-induced sleep endoscopy similar to those found during natural sleep endoscopy?

In this cohort study of 26 patients with snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, the upper-airway obstruction patterns showed a good agreement rate between drug-induced sleep endoscopy (performed with sedative drugs) and natural sleep endoscopy.

 Findings

for drug-induced sleep endoscopy were similar to those for natural sleep endoscopy, suggesting that drug-induced sleep endoscopy may be a reliable test.
