Objectives: The lack of consensus regarding the association between airway narrowing and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) presents a significant challenge in understanding and diagnosing this sleep disorder. The study aimed to systematically review the literature to investigate the relationship between upper airway measurements and the severity of OSA defined by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

Methods: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were systematically searched on the 21st of March 2023 for articles of OSA patients as diagnosed by polysomnography, investigating the correlation between upper airway measurements and AHI using CBCT or MDCT.
