The outcome measurements of the polysomnography will be<br /><br>described by the Obstructive Apnea Hypopnea Index (OAHI) and the Oxygen<br /><br>Desaturation Index (ODI). An OAHI of 1-4 events/hour (mild), OAHI of 5-10<br /><br>(moderate) and an OAHI of > 10 (severe) will be used to describe the severity<br /><br>of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). </p><br>
