Respiratory event index underestimates severity of sleep apnea compared to apnea-hypopnea index. [PDF]
Sleep Adv, 2023 Abstract Polygraphy (PG) is often used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it does not use electroencephalography, and therefore cannot estimate sleep time or score arousals and related hypopneas. Consequently, the PG-derived respiratory event index (REI) differs from the polysomnography (PSG)-derived apnea-hypopnea index

Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, poor adherence is a limiting factor, and a significant proportion of patients are unable to tolerate CPAP.
