2. Apnea–hypopnea index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apnea–hypopnea_index

   The Apnea–Hypopnea Index or Apnoea–Hypopnoea Index (AHI) is an index used to indicate the severity of sleep apnea. It is represented by the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. Apnea is the complete absence of airflow through your nose and mouth. Hypopnea is a partial collapse of your airway, limiting breathing.

3. Respiratory disturbance index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_disturbance_index

   The respiratory disturbance index (RDI)—or respiratory distress Index—is a formula used in reporting polysomnography (sleep study) findings. Like the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), it reports on respiratory distress events during sleep, but unlike the AHI, it also includes respiratory-effort related arousals (RERAs). [1]

4. Epworth Sleepiness Scale - Wikipedia

   For instance, scores of 11–15 are shown to indicate the possibility of mild to moderate sleep apnea, where a score of 16 and above indicates the possibility of severe sleep apnea or narcolepsy. [3] Certain questions in the scale were shown to be better predictors of specific sleep disorders, though further tests may be required to provide an ...

6. Obstructive sleep apnea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_sleep_apnea

   [46] [citation needed] High probability patients were identified by an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score of 10 or greater and a Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) of 15 or greater. [47] Home oximetry, however, does not measure apneic events or respiratory event-related arousals and thus does not produce an AHI value.

7. Sleep study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_study

   Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea [1] [2] Sleep-related seizure disorders [1] Sleep-related movement disorders, such as periodic limb movement disorder, which is repeated muscle twitching of the feet, legs, or arms during sleep. [2] [1] Sleep studies may be used to diagnose or rule out restless legs syndrome (RLS). However ...
