Trial Outcomes & Findings for Apnea, Bariatric Surgery Versus Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Trial (NCT NCT01187771)

NCT ID: NCT01187771

Last Updated: 2019-06-04

Results Overview

The Effective Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) is the actual frequency of apneas and hypopneas per hour that the patient is exposed to. It is calculated as the AHI while on CPAP times the proportion of sleep time that CPAP was used plus the AHI off CPAP times the proportion of sleep time that CPAP is not used.
