Flow limitation increased with raising pressure?

[Sleepygal1]

Hi all, a rather basic question.

I am looking at a friend's data in sleepyhead. It's a Dreamstation Auto-CPAP.

I'm looking at the statistics screen in SH and it shows the FL at different pressure settings.

5 days at 11->12 APAP mode 0.14FL
13 days at 11.5->12.0 APAP mode 0.22FL
9 days at 12->12 APAP mode 0.39FL

Why would the flow limitation average go UP as pressure goes up? I would have expected the opposite, no?

Statistics is pretty useless, you have to look at the night's data.

Most likely, you've got cause and effect backwards, higher flow limitations caused higher pressure. (since pressure goes up because of flow limitations), so nights where your friend had higher FLs for whatever reason, they ended up with higher pressures.

For the same reason the temperature goes up as more people eat ice cream.

My turn.

The absolute best health food you can eat is cake.

Stats bear this out. The more birthday cakes a person eats, the longer they live.

But only if it’s their own cake friends cake does not count
