Abstract
This systematic review suggests that MMA surgery and MAD therapy may improve several aerodynamic characteristics of the upper airway in OSA patients by CFD analysis. However, because of limitations of the selected studies, there is not enough evidence yet to support CFD analysis as a routine tool to predict the treatment outcome in OSA patients.
