OSAS severity: depending on AHI, apnoe length, ODI, SaO2 min, mean SaO2, SaO2 < 90% or < 88%, arterial PCO2 or a combination of some of these parameters?
Introduction: The association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrom (OSAS) with cardiovascular diseases as coronary heart disease (CVD), hypertension, stroke, arrhythmias, heart failure and metabolic disease as diabetes II is well documented. Results of correlations with different parameters of OSAS as Apnea-/Hypopnea-Index (AHI), Oxygen-Desaturation-Index (ODI), minimal Oxygen saturation (SaO2 min), mean Oxygensaturation (mean SaO2) or time with oxygen saturation below 90% (SaO2
