Table 2.

Home apnea screening results.

Overall (n = 269) Females (n = 214) Males (n = 55)
AHI (events/h) 6.1 (2.7, 12.1) 5.6 (2.7, 11.2) 7.8 (3.4, 17.2)
Normal (< 5) 43.5% 46.3% 32.7%
Mild (5 to < 15) 37.2% 37.4% 36.4%
Moderate (15 to < 30) 12.3% 11.2% 16.4%
Severe (30+) 7.1% 5.1% 14.6%
Duration of evaluation (min) 405.9 (328.6, 473.2) 410.5 (327.6, 476.6) 392.7 (329.1, 448.1)
Duration of recording (min) 446.3 (376.6, 534.1) 453.8 (381.9, 537.2) 427.2 (366.9, 519.5)
Apnea index (events/h) 1.0 (0.0, 4.0) 1.0 (0.0, 3.0) 2.0 (1.0, 8.0)
Hypopnea index (events/h) 4.4 (1.7, 7.9) 4.3 (1.6, 7.7) 4.9 (2.0, 9.2)
Oxygen distress index (events/h) 6.7 (2.3, 12.4) 6.5 (2.2, 11.2) 8.0 (2.8, 16.6)
Minutes saturation ≤ 90% 15.0 (2.0, 109.0) 14.0 (1.0, 101.0) 28.0 (2.0, 122.0)

Values are reported as percentage or median (25th, 75th percentile). Four cases were missing oxygen distress index and minutes saturation ≤ 90%. AHI = apnea-hypopnea index.
