Definition of abbreviations: AHI3A = apnea–hypopnea index (hypopnea associated with 3% desaturation and/or arousal); BMI = body mass index; CAI = central apnea index; imputed breaths = artificial breaths during apneas; normal breaths = breaths with an amplitude of greater than 85% of normalized breath amplitude (all breaths during sleep/wake are included except for breaths during invalid periods of the study [e.g., equipment disconnects]); OAI = obstructive apnea index; small breaths = breaths with an amplitude of less than 85% of normalized breath amplitude.

Values are presented as mean ± SD. In cases of non-normally distributed data, values are represented as median (interquartile range). Test set 1: New York, NY. Test set 2: Solingen, Germany.

For the breath size distribution, values in parentheses represent percent of total number of breaths.
