• To study the value of a new measurement that divided obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) into rapid-eye-movement (REM) related and non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) related subgroups. According to Siddiqui classification, 137 adult patients with OSHAS were diagnosed as REM-related OSAHS [REM apnea hypopnea index (AHI)/NREM AHI > 1] or NREM-related OSAHS (REM AHI/NREM AHI < 1). Polysomnographic data were compared and discussed. (1) There were 72 cases defined as REM-related OSAHS (52.6%) and 65 cases defined as NREM-related OSAHS (47.4%). (2) In all cases, total AHI and NREM AHI in REM-related OSAHS were significantly lower than those in NREM-related OSAHS, while lowest arterial oxygen saturation (LSaO₂), REM LSaO₂ and NREM LSaO₂ were significantly higher than those in NREM-related OSAHS (t were -6.466, -7.638, 3.426, 2.472, 4.873 respectively, P < 0.05). No significance was found in sleep structure, REM AHI and REM LSaO₂ between REM-related and NREM-related OSAHS (P > 0.05). (3) Given the severity o
