Background Diagnostics of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is based on apnea-hypopnea
index (AHI) determined as full-night average of occurred events. We investigate our …

Aim: Apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) take account only the number of apnea and hypopnea
regardless of their duration and morphology. The aim of this study was to compare the mean …

Introduction Severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is commonly based upon the apnea-
hypopnea index (AHI). However, patients with similar AHIs may demonstrate widely varying …

Purpose Recently, there has been a debate about the rules used to score hypopnea events.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of different oxygen desaturation …

Objective To evaluate the association between cardiovascular morbidity and obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) severity quantified using the sleep breathing impairment index (SBII), a …

Sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) causes impairment of daytime functions and
increases risk of cardiovascular diseases. Apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), currently used for …

Background Perceived sleep quality may play an important role in diagnosis and therapy for
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, few studies have assessed factors that are …

Backgrounds and Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased
morbidity and mortality. OSA is an independent risk factor for many different conditions …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a complete or partial airway obstruction that
causes significant physiologic disturbance with various clinical impacts. The aim of the study …

It is unclear if oximetric parameters, such as total time of SpO2< 90%,(T90), oxygen
desaturation index‐3%(ODI), minimum SpO2, are able to describe a high‐risk subtype of …
