Respiratory Events with Pediatric Criteria in the Subset of Subjects Aged 13-18 Years (32 Patients)
Median | Range | Limit of normality | |
---|---|---|---|
Age (years) | 15.8 | 13.3–18.7 | |
Apnea hypopnea index (N/h) | 0.0 | 0.0–0.9 | 0.8 |
Obstructive apnea index (N/h) | 0.0 | 0.0–0.5 | 0.1 |
Hypopnea index (N/h) | 0.0 | 0.0–0.9 | 0.8 |
Central apnea index (N/h) | 0.06 | 0.0–0.6 | 0.4 |
% TST with end-tidal CO2 > 50 torr | 0.2 | 0.0–64.6 | 24.0 |
Peak end-tidal CO2 (torr) | 50.0 | 45.0–54.0 | 53.0 |
% TST with SpO2 <92% | 0.0 | 0.0–1.5 | 1.0 |
SpO2 Nadir (mm Hg) | 93.0 | 88.0–97.0 | 89.0 |
TST, total sleep time; SpO2, oxyhemoglobin saturation.
The limit of normality was calculated as the 95th percentile for all the parameters, except for SpO2 nadir that was calculated as the 5th percentile.
