Sensitivity | Specificity | DOR | LR+ | LR– | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
AHI ≥ 5 events/h | 94.11%; SE, 2.6% | 43.47%; SE, 12.9% | 12.30; SE, 3.62 | 1.66; SE, 0.34 | 0.13; SE, 0.03 |
AHI ≥ 15 events/h | 92.21%; SE, 2.4% | 72.39%; SE, 7.8% | 31.08; SE, 17.97 | 3.34; SE, 0.97 | 0.10; SE, 0.03 |
AHI ≥ 30 events/h | 74.11%; SE, 5.6% | 87.10; SE, 3.4% | 19.33; SE, 6.46 | 5.74; SE, 1.41 | 0.29; SE, 0.06 |
AHI = apnea-hypopnea index, DOR = diagnostic odds ratio, LR+ and LR– = positive and negative likelihood ratios, SE = standard error.
