Abstract
The concordance of different indices from type-4 sleep studies in diagnosing and categorising the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea is not known. This is a critical gap as type-4 sleep studies are used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea in some settings. Therefore, we aimed to determine the concordance between flow-based apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHIflow50% ) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI3% ) by measuring them concurrently. Using a random sub-sample of 296 from a population-based cohort who underwent two-channel type-4 sleep studies, we assessed the concordance between AHIflow50% and ODI3% . We compared the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea of various severities as identified by..
