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.
