Severity of negative esophageal pressure (Pes) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) were investigated in 34 patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The OSAHS patients were diagnostically classified as having obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) or upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). Diagnosis of OSAS was based on an AHI of more than 5, and that of UARS on an AHI of less than 5, EEG arousals which were associated with apnea, hypopnea and/or respiratory effort occurring more than 10 times per hour, and daytime sleepiness.

Severity of negative esophageal pressure (Pes) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) were investigated in six cases of upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and 11 cases of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The severity of negative Pes was represented by the highest peak (Pes Max) and the number of increased episodes (more than 13.5 cmH2O) per h (NPesI13.
