[Predictive ability of the CT to evaluate cervical lymph nodes in head and neck tumours].

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of computed tomography (CT) i.e., its sensitivity and specificity in detecting metastatic lymph nodes of head and neck tumours.

[Analysis of the anthropometric, epidemiological, and clinical parameters in patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea].

Objectives: The existence of snoring, apnoeas and diurnal somnolence constitutes obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a disease of high prevalence that can cause serious complications. We have made a descriptive study of the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with suspected OSA, with the main target of knowing the value of some of these characteristics in the evaluation of these patients.

Patients And Method: We have had access to a retrospective sample of 433 patients (361 men and 72 women) with an average age of 47 (11.

The predictive value of clinical and epidemiological parameters in the identification of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA): a clinical prediction algorithm in the evaluation of OSA.

We sought to analyze the predictive value of anthropometric, clinical and epidemiological parameters in the identification of patients with suspected OSA, and their relationship with apnoea/hypopnoea respiratory events during sleep. We studied retrospectively 433 patients with OSA, 361 men (83.37%) and 72 women (16.
