Index

A book containing references, alphabetically arranged, to the contents of a series or collection of documents or volumes; or a section (normally at the end) of a single volume or set of volumes containing such references to its contents.

Statistical indexes are also used to track or measure changes in the economy (for example, the Consumer Price Index) and movement in stock markets (for example, Standard & Poor's Index). Such indexes are usually keyed to a base year, month, or other period of comparison.

In mortgage financing, the term is used to determine adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) interest rates after the discount period ends. Common indexes for ARMs are one-year Treasury Securities and the national average cost of funds to savings and loan associations.

Out of 48 patients 7(14%), 3(6%), 2(4%), 1(2%) patients in the age group of 20-40 had apnea-hypopnea index less than 5, 5-14, 15-29 and equal or more than 30 respectively, similarly 16(32%), 5(10%), 4(8%), 2(4%) patients in the age group of 40-60 had apnea-hypopnea index less than 5, 5-14, 15-29 and equal or more than 30 respectively.

Study of polysomnography in cure post-tuberculosis patients

Major finding: Nearly half (49%) of the 45 patients receiving active treatment with the device had an apnea-hypopnea index that was lower than 5, compared with 11% of those using the placebo device, for an odds ratio of 7.8 and a number needed to treat of 3.

Oral device reduces sleep apnea, not sleepiness

In adults, an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of greater than or equal to 5 is the minimum criterion for establishing a sleep-disordered breathing diagnosis, while severity is classified by the number of events per hour.

Sleep-disordered breathing linked to cardiometabolic risks

There was no significant difference between the young and middle-aged OSA groups in apnea-hypopnea index. The middle-aged OSA group, relative to the other groups, showed decreased activation by fMRI in the task-related brain regions.

Does OSA and increasing age combine to decrease brain function?

Spearman correlation analysis between the QTD, QTcD and Apnea-Hypopnea Index did not show any significant correlations (Fig.

Previous studies have shown that the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the most widely used measure of sleep apnea severity, is linked to mortality and heart disease.

Sleep apnea may predict mortality rate

Using standard criteria, both recordings were scored for obstructive and central disordered breathing events, and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was determined.

Portable Sleep Monitoring Accurate in Heart Failure Patients; Respiratory polygraphy can accurately diagnose sleep apnea in patients hospitalized with heart failure

Measurement of the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour, which is called the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), is used to grade OSA (7).

Treatment success with titratabie thermoplastic mandibular advancement devices for obstructive sleep apnea: a comparison of patient characteristics

Several treatments, notably continuous positive airway pressure and mandibular advancement devices, did improve intermediate outcomes such as scores on the apnea-hypopnea index, scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and blood pressure levels, but the evidence did not show that this in turn improved mortality, cardiovascular events, or the other "hard" outcomes of interest, Dr.
