Oscar data question

[Sleepingbaby]

I have created a spreadsheet to compare my daily Oscar information.
My question is why does Unclassified Apnea and Obstructive switch places every few days.

[Sleepingbaby]

In my oscar daily details is listed as:

Cheyne Stokes Respiration
Large Leak
Clear Airway
--Obstructive
--Unclassified Apnea
Hypopnea
RERA

then it will switch the order for a day or two and then switch back:

Cheyne Stokes Respiration
Large Leak
Clear Airway
---Unclassified Apnea
---Obstructive
Hypopnea
RERA

So when I am moving the information to my spreadsheet I have to watch where I am putting the numbers.

That's probably your problem. You are overthinking. Obsessed with minutiae.

What's wrong that makes you think a spreadsheet will help? Maybe some members can help you without needing such detailed data.

I would focus on AHI vs leak rate.
The rest, I only save as a trend reference,
as daily fluctuations are meaningless.

Are you referring to the order in which the indexes are shown in the left sidebar on the Daily page?

[Sleepingbaby]

I love lists and spreadsheets. There is magic and calmness in the details.
If you feel I have a problem with them then that is your problem.
I am tracking the differences in what makes up my AHI to see if there is a trend I can deal with.

This is more a programming issue as to how it generates the list.

I just want it explained as to why it flips and maybe find out if anyone else noticed.

I would just like the question that I asked to be answered and not information about what numbers to watch or ignore.

Yes I am if that helps to clear up understanding my question.

Seems a good question for Gideon on http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Forum- ... oard-Forum. He's the Project Manager for OSCAR. He and other developers may be here as well but using a different nom de plume...

I think you need to open up a few more spreadsheets, you're not showing very much calmness.

Yes, thank you. I wanted to be certain that was what you are referring to before I look at the code.

There is a graph of this information in OSCAR Overview.

[BlueDragon]

My question is why does Unclassified Apnea and Obstructive switch places every few days.

And the answer is: the different channels have "sort order" numbers to force the index list to appear in the desired order. A few channels, such as Obstructive and Unclassified, have the same sort order numbers, so I imagine the sorting process will be ambiguous.

This will be fixed in the next release of OSCAR.

Thank you for taking the time to check it out and for answering my question.
