Abstract

PURPOSE: Conventional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis via polysomnography can be costly and inaccessible. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the use of craniofacial photographs to diagnose OSA. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the diagnostic accuracy of this innovative approach.
