摘要

Physical and clinical evaluations are part of the assessment of sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) and contribute to the therapeutic decision. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) can originate from different segments of the upper airway; therefore, the entire upper airway must be examined during evaluation [32]. This must be performed before polysomnography and before any therapeutic decision.
