Category talk:CPAP Definitions
If it's an index, it should be the total, divided by number of hours slept.
For example: BR Arousal index: The number of breathing related arousals(apnea, hypopnea, snoring & RERAs)multiplied by the # hours of sleep. "Multiplied" should be "Divided"
- I second the above correction
I have corrected the definition for Sleep efficiency (Total sleep time multiplied by time in bed) which was INCORRECT (similar problem as comment on Index above):
The CORRECT definition now reads.
Sleep efficiency: Total sleep time divided by time in bed (expressed as a fraction) or Total sleep time divided by time in bed x 100 (expressed as a percentage).
- *both are correct, just different expressions of the same concept or value
Someone needs to add definitions for HI and AI. I would have done it, but the instructions said that it needed to be "discussed" first, and I won't remember to come back and check to see if it has been approved.
So if someone notices that it's been "approved" (who does the approval?), feel free to add those.
Demotivation--it keeps me from being too busy.
BR Arousal index: The number of breathing related arousals(apnea, hypopnea, snoring & RERAs)multiplied by the # hours of sleep.
There should be spaces surrounding the parenthetical, as in:
BR Arousal index: The number of breathing related arousals (apnea, hypopnea, snoring & RERAs) multiplied by the # hours of sleep.
