Abstract:
:The utility of the apnea index (number of apneic events per hour of sleep) in diagnosing sleep apnea syndrome is reviewed. Data from currently extant reports indicate that many otherwise normal, aging subjects may be classified as having sleep apnea syndrome based on the current diagnostic threshold of five apneic episodes per hour: A chi 2 analysis suggests a relationship between age and level of sleep apnea. Several other reports indicate that use of a threshold of five apneic episodes per hour does not reliably predict increased health risk or somnolence in aging subjects. Adjustment of the apnea index, based on studies of aging normal subjects and of aging patients with sleep apnea syndrome is necessary to ensure reliable results in clinical and research applications.
