Abstract
The PTT Arousal Index increased proportionately with severity of SDB with significantly higher markers of arousal in sleepy subjects exhibiting nocturnal IFL when compared to controls. Subjects exhibiting IFL were predominantly female with an elevated BMI. IFL may thus represent a significant pathogenic entity in the development of daytime sleepiness.
