TI  - Assessment of Relationship Between Sleep Position and Nasal Septum
Deviation with Polysomnographic Data
AB  - Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between septum
deviation and sleeping position in patients with nasal septum deviation.
Methods: The study included 25 patients with nasal septum deviation on the right side, 25
patients with septum deviation on the left side, and 25 patients without septum deviation
as the control group. The polysomnography reports of these patients were assessed retrospectively,
and the spans of rest in the right, left, and supine positions were evaluated.
Results: The right side-lying time was significantly longer than the left side-lying time
in the group with right side deviation (P < .01). In the group with left sided septal deviation,
the left side-lying time was significantly longer than the right side-lying time
(P < .01). There was no significant difference between the 2 side-lying periods (P = .118).
Moreover, the ratio of sleep duration in the supine/non-supine position in the groups
with deviation was significantly higher than that in the control group.
Conclusion: The results of our study showed that patients with nasal septum deviation
slept more in the supine position than those without deviation and slept more on the
deviated side when sleeping in the non-supine position.
