Comparison of Cheyne‐Stokes respiration and periodic breathing between healthy and hospitalized groups

Variable	Healthy	Hospitalized	p Value
Number	100	90
Monitoring time, mean hours/SD/median	24 ± 1/24	23 ± 2/24	.05a
Cheyne‐Stokes respiration during entire monitoring period mean/SD/median	1 ± 1/1	9 ± 23/2	<.001a
Cheyne‐Stokes respiration range	0–7	0–165
Periodic breathing, entire monitoring period mean/SD/median	9 ± 3/9	24 ± 27/14	<.001a
Periodic breathing range	0–18	3–170

SD, standard deviation.
