Which statement would be most accurate regarding diagnosis


Problem: A person has a PSG study, sleeps for 6 hours, has 30 obstructive apneas and 30 hypopneas, with the lowest oxygen desaturation of 90%. The person's history includes daytime sleepiness and depression. Based on this information, which statement would be the most accurate regarding the diagnosis?

a) The patient has mild OSAHS because the AHI=10 and there is a history of daytime sleepiness and low mood.

b) the patient has moderate OSAHS because there is a history of daytime sleepiness and low mood in addition to the AHI of 10.

c) The patient does not meet the diagnostic criteria for OSAHS because there is no history of cardiac conditions and the AHI is below 15.

d) The patient has mild OSAHS, since the AHI between 5 and 15 is the only required diagnostic criterion.

e) The patient does not meet the diagnostic criteria for OSAHS because the lowest oxyhemoglobin desaturation is still within the normal range.
