The main question it aims to answer is:

Does MMA surgery in OSA patiënts improve their quality of life?

Patients will answer online surverys about their QoL and there will be data collected like length, weight and blood pressure.

Description:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of MMA surgery on the quality of life of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

It was hypnotized that MMA does not result in a significant improvement in the quality of life in patients with OSA.

The main objective is the SF-36 questionnaire The secondary objectives are the; OHIP-14, ESS, FOSQ, EQ-5D-3L and OQLQ

Design: observational study

Study population: 80 Patients who qualify for MMA above the age of 18

The patients will be recruited at the departments of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. Individuals who match the next inclusion and exclusion criteria will be the population base of this study.There will also be a control group.These patients will have the same inclusion and exclusion criteria next to the diagnosis with OSA. The control group will be a group of patients without OSA.

In total there will be 80 patients included.

There will be no intervention done for the purpose of this study. But the intervention that will be observed is how the MMA effects the Quality of Life of the patients who underwent this surgery. We are going to prospective observe them and follow them up through their procedure.

The responsible researcher will introduce the research to the patients. When patients meet the inclusion criteria they will be asked to participate in the research. The decision regarding participation in the study, which is made by the patient, is entirely voluntary. Patients are given two weeks time to consider joining the study population. Refusal of participation will have no consequences for further treatment of the patient. They will be asked to sign informed consent.
