Spearman correlation of polysomnography parameters with McGill oximetry score.

Polysomnography Parameter Median (IQR) Correlation with MOS Spearman Coefficient (95% CI) P
Apnea-hypopnea index, events/h 9.7 (4.2, 16.2) 0.43 (0.26, 0.57) < .001
Obstructive apnea-hypopnea index, events/h 3.6 (0.1, 10.6) 0.30 (0.12, 0.46) .002
Central apnea-hypopnea index, events/h 3.1 (1.2, 7.2) 0.19 (–0.01, 0.36) .06
Oxygen saturation nadir, % 84.0 (80.0, 90.0) –0.73 (–0.80, –0.62) < .001
Baseline mean oxygen saturation asleep, % 97.0 (96.5, 98.0) –0.20 (–0.38, –0.01) .04
CT90, % 0.1 (0.0, 0.4) 0.85 (0.79, 0.90) < .001
Oxygen desaturation index, events/h 6.2 (2.2, 13.3) 0.61 (0.47, 0.71) < .001

CI = confidence interval, CT90 = cumulative time percentage with oxygen saturation less than 90%, IQR = interquartile range, MOS = McGill oximetry score.
