| Abstract |
In treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), oral appliance (OA) therapy is indicated in patients with mild-moderate OSA. However, since patients with severe OSA in whom OA therapy was effective have also been reported, it may not be possible to determine indications for OA therapy based on the severity alone. The purpose of this study was to determine indications for OA therapy using endoscopy during wakefulness in patients with severe OSA. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 December 2014.
All research outputs
#15,298,293
of 22,751,628 outputs
Outputs from Sleep and Breathing
#668
of 1,376 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#207,026
of 336,464 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Sleep and Breathing
#15
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,751,628 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,376 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,464 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
