Should I care about leak rate with low AHI?

[delfinparis]

Just checked my data and noticed my leak rate is averaging 80-90% (which is obviously very high). However, my AHI is averaging .58 (my lowest ever). I'm assuming I can ignore the leak rate as AHI is the most important metric. Or should I care about the leak rate? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Not really enough information to give advice.

Are you sleeping well?

Are the leaks waking you up?

What machine?

How much time in Large Leak.

Maybe leaks caused by higher pressure than you need for therapy.

Your statement is meaningless. leak rate isn't meaningfully expressed in a percentage, it's expressed in liters per minute.

What 'data' did you check?

If you want meaningful answers, you need to post meaningful data, preferably a screenshot from a night, in Oscar.
