Gender differences in the relationship between the breathing cessation event duration and the related desaturation event severity could mean that the severity of OSA is different in males and females despite a similar AHI. The aim of this work was to evaluate gender differences in the severity of peripheral oxygen desaturation events following obstructive apneas or hypopneas.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Type I polysomnographic recordings of 220 males and 175 females were analyzed. The obstructive apnea and hypopnea events were divided into eight different durational categories from 10\u2009s to 45\u2009s with 5\u2009s interval and\u2009\u2009&gt;45\u2009s. The desaturation event severities following obstructive apneas or hypopneas were compared between genders within these durational categories.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Desaturations following obstructive apneas with a duration of 30\u201345\u2009s were substantially more severe (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2009&lt;\u2009\u20090.05) in females compared to males. In contrast, areas of desaturations following hypopneas (with related hypopnea event durations\u2009\u2009\u2a7d30\u2009s) were smaller (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2009&lt;\u2009\u20090.05) in females compared to males. In general, desaturation events following obstructive apneas were more severe compared to desaturations following hypopneas and the increase in the duration of obstructive apnea and hypopnea events led to an increase in the related desaturation severity in both genders.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance<\/jats:italic>\n                    : We found gender differences in the desaturation event severities following obstructive apneas and hypopneas. The results indicate that in females longer obstructive apneas (&gt;30\u2009s) could be more detrimental compared to those of males. As severe health consequences are related to the desaturation severity these aspects should be considered when estimating the severity of OSA.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6579\/aa7b6f","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,26]],"date-time":"2017-07-26T09:33:18Z","timestamp":1501061598000},"page":"1490-1502","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Gender differences in severity of desaturation events following hypopnea and obstructive apnea events in adults during sleep"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8252-3996","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antti","family":"Kulkas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sein\u00e4joki Central Hospital"},{"name":"University of Eastern Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brett","family":"Duce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Alexandra Hospital"},{"name":"Queensland University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timo","family":"Lepp\u00e4nen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sein\u00e4joki Central Hospital"},{"name":"University of Eastern Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Craig","family":"Hukins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Alexandra Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juha","family":"T\u00f6yr\u00e4s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Eastern Finland"},{"name":"Kuopio University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmeaaa7b6fbib001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"667","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/22.5.667","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Sleep-related breathing disorders in adults\u202f: recommendations for syndrome definition and measurement techniques in clinical research","volume":"22","author":"American Academy of Sleep Medicine Task Force","year":"1999","journal-title":"Sleep"},{"key":"pmeaaa7b6fbib002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"305","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200208-876OC","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Sex differences in thoracic dimensions and configuration","volume":"168","author":"Bellemare","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am.
