Apnea‐Hypopnea Event Duration Predicts Mortality in Men and Women in the Sleep Heart Health Study
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for mortality, but its diagnostic metric—the apnea‐hypopnea index—is a poor risk predictor. The apnea‐hypopnea index does not capture the range of physiological variability within and between patients ...
