Rationale: Oral appliances are second-line treatments after continuous positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) management. However, the need for oral appliance titration limits their use as a result of monitoring challenges to assess the treatment effect on OSA. Objectives: To assess the validity of mandibular jaw movement (MJM) automated analysis compared with polysomnography (PSG) and polygraphy (PG) in evaluating the effect of oral appliance treatment and the effectiveness of MJM monitoring for oral appliance titration at home in patients with OSA. Methods: This observational, prospective study included 135 patients with OSA eligible for oral appliance therapy. The primary outcome was the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), measured through in-laboratory PSG/PG and MJM-based technology. Additionally, MJM monitoring at home was conducted at regular intervals during the titration process. The agreement between PSG/PG and MJM automated analysis was revaluated using Bland-Altman analysis. Changes in AHI during the home-based oral appliance titration process were evaluated using a generalized linear mixed model and a generalized estimating equation model. Results: The automated MJM analysis demonstrated strong agreement with PG in assessing AHI at the end of titration, with a median bias of 0.24/h (limits of agreement, -11.2 to 12.8/h). The improvement of AHI from baseline in response to oral appliance treatment was consistent across three evaluation conditions: in-laboratory PG (-59.6%; 95% confidence interval, -59.8% to -59.5%), in-laboratory automated MJM analysis (-59.2%; -65.2% to -52.2%), and at-home automated MJM analysis (-59.7%; -67.4% to -50.2%). Conclusions: Incorporating MJM automated analysis into the oral appliance titration process has the potential to optimize oral appliance therapy outcomes for OSA.
