Importance: Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is used to guide therapeutic management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), depending on the levels and patterns of pharyngeal collapse. However, the collapsibility of specific pharyngeal sites remains unknown.
Objective: To assess collapse sites in patients with OSA undergoing DISE and whether number and location are associated with differences in airway collapsibility; and to quantify differences in collapsibility between primary and secondary sites in multilevel collapse.

We learned that identifying "who is strong" and "who is vulnerable" can be surprising and unexpected, that patients and professionals can lean on one another at different stages of crises and that resilient health ecosystems require reciprocal, caring relationships at the individual and collective levels.
