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

Table 4

Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient based on the Five-Minute CPAP Test Quiet Pressures versus other variables. Statistical significance with 2-tailed . % = percent; AHI = apnea-hypopnea index; APAP-95th = Auto-CPAP devices’ 95th percentile download data; BMI = body mass index (in kilograms per meter²); cwp = centimeters of water pressure; LSAT = lowest oxygen saturation; ODI = oxygen desaturation index; = value; = Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; titration snoring = snoring detected during the polysomnogram; and y = years.

Quiet Pressure correlation to the following variables	Correlation coefficient; significance (2-tailed)
Age	= 18; = −0.0064; = 0.98
BMI	= 18; = 0.60; = 0.0088
AHI	= 18; = 0.49; = 0.039
LSAT %	= 18; = −0.47; = 0.048
ODI	= 18; = 0.62; = 0.0057
APAP-95th	= 8; = 0.51; = 0.19
Titration resolution of snoring in cwp	= 10; = 0.37; = 0.29
