Metrics of sleep apnea severity: beyond the apnea-hypopnea index. [PDF]

Sleep, 2021
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is thought to affect almost 1 billion people worldwide. OSA has well established cardiovascular and neurocognitive sequelae, although the optimal metric to assess its severity and/or potential response to therapy remains unclear. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is well established; thus, we review

On the rise and fall of the apnea−hypopnea index: A historical review and critical appraisal [PDF]

Journal of Sleep Research, 2020
SummaryThe publication of “The Sleep Apnea Syndromes” by Guilleminault et al. in the 1970s hallmarked the discovery of a new disease entity involving serious health consequences. Obstructive sleep apnea was shown to be the most important disorder among the sleep apnea syndromes (SAS).
