Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Respiratory Event Index (REI) and Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) measured by the portable sleep apnea testing device SAS-2200 REI: The number of respiratory events (apnea and hypopnea) per hour. ODI: The number of episodes per hour in which arterial oxygen saturation decreases by >=3% and returns to baseline within 2 minutes. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| With the SAS-2200 device: Lowest SpO2 and Average SpO2 according to alcohol consumption status Snoring index Positional analysis Pulse rate variability Associations with ALDH gene polymorphisms With Holter ECG monitoring: Heart rate variability Presence of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias | — |
