Oops! Total screw-up on my part. I apologize for not having my brain all together!

Is that LoQ or DonQ? Is imagination running high today? Where in this thread or, for that matter, anywhere in the forum has it been said, "HI doesn't matter"?

"AHI don't really mean much epecially before therapy, what matters most is AI after therapy."

Maybe I misread that and many similar statements. I stand corrected.

Maybe frequent discussion of not worrying about a higher HI with ResMeds had something to do with your impression. If so, that was specific to that brand scoring more hypopneas than than the Respironics. Not that they don't matter, but that they may not be that high compared to if on another machine.
