2. Apnea–hypopnea index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apnea–hypopnea_index

   The AHI is calculated by dividing the number of apnea events by the number of hours of sleep. The AHI values for adults are categorized as: [1] [2] Normal: AHI<5; Mild sleep apnea: 5≤AHI<15; Moderate sleep apnea: 15≤AHI<30; Severe sleep apnea: AHI≥30; For children, because of their different physiology, an AHI in excess of 1 is considered ...

   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 ...

   [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. 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]
