Abstract

Key Points

– The apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) varies from night to night.

– Multi-night testing improves diagnostic accuracy.

– Emerging multi-night diagnostic devices offer practical advantages but require further validation.

– A single night AHI should be interpreted as an estimate rather than a definitive value, alongside clinical judgement.
