Five-Minute Awake Snoring Test for Determining CPAP Pressures (Five-Minute CPAP Test): A Pilot Study

Table 3

Data for patients who underwent the Five-Minute CPAP Test and empiric prescriptions, without a CPAP titration. % = percent; AHI = apnea-hypopnea index; BMI = body mass index (in kilograms per meter²); cwp = centimeters of water pressure; LSAT = lowest oxygen saturation; NA = not applicable; ODI = oxygen desaturation index; and y = years. Based on previous prescription.
