Apnea-Hypopnea Index: (All apneas with no oxygen desaturation threshold used and with or without arousal + hypopneas with > 50% flow reduction and without oxygen desaturation threshold used and with or without arousal + hypopneas with > 30% flow reduction and with >= 3% oxygen desaturation or with arousal) / hour of sleep from type I polysomnography
Hypopneas are defined using two criteria: a > 50%, but <= 90% amplitude decrease from baseline of the nasal pressure signal; or if there was a clear amplitude reduction of the nasal pressure signal that did not reach the above criterion but it was associated with either an oxygen desaturation > 3% or an arousal, and the event duration was >= 10 seconds. |
