- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Snoring Index (SI): The time the patient is snoring as a percentage of total sleeping time. Measured with the polygraph and the acceleratorsensor.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Compliance: The compliance is calculated based on the accelerometer data from the MRA. From this data the number of nights and the hours per night the MRA is used can be derived. The measured compliance is then compared to the outcome of the compliance diary;<br /><br>2. Position of the head of the patient: The position of the head of the patient is calculated based on the accelerometer data from the MRA. We distinguish three positions: supine, right and left. The supine position means that the head of the patient faces the ceiling. The right and left positions mean that the patient is lying respectively on their right and left side of the head.
