Both the Duration of Apnea and the Number of Apneas Are Important in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome [PDF]
Apnea and hypopnea are generally considered to be equivalent in calculating the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) regardless of their kind and duration. However, we supposed that apnea and hypopnea could differ in their effects on arousal and oxygen desaturation, and that the duration of an occurrence of apnea or hypopnea could also be important.

Obstructive sleep apnea: current perspectives
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) continues to rise. So too do the health, safety, and economic consequences. On an individual level, the causes and consequences of OSA can vary substantially between patients.

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 ...

OBJECTIVE: To review medical literature related to apnea of prematurity. SOURCES: Extensive literature search and clinical practice-oriented concepts. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS: Apnea is one of the most common respiratory disorders in the neonatal period. Immaturity of the central nervous system is associated with instability of respiration.

Diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adults
KEY POINTS Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurring episodes of cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) in airflow during sleep caused by obstruction of the upper airway.
