Mortality‐risk‐based apnea–hypopnea index thresholds for diagnostics of obstructive sleep apnea
Journal of Sleep Research, 2019 The severity of obstructive sleep apnea is clinically assessed mainly using the apnea–hypopnea index. Based on the apnea–hypopnea index, patients are classified into four severity groups: non‐obstructive sleep apnea (apnea–hypopnea index
