Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Kantonsspital Baselland, Liestal, Switzerland.

Purpose: To explore the interobserver reliability of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) for patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) of two classification systems.

Methods: DISE examinations were recorded digitally for all patients and were evaluated independently by five examiners blinded to all patient data. Areas of obstruction were rated using VOTE (velum, oropharynx lateral wall, tongue base, epiglottis) classification and PTLTbE (palate, tonsils, lateral pharyngeal wall, tongue base, epiglottis) classification.
