Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; CVD = cardiovascular disease; HR = hazard ratio per 1-SD increase in hypoxic burden, ventilatory burden, and arousal burden.

Statistical significance is highlighted in bold.

Model 1: age + race + body mass index.

Model 2: Model 1 + hypertension + diabetes + smoking status + chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Model 3: Model 2 + preevent oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry.

Model 4: Model 3 + desaturation sensitivity (defined as hypoxic burden/ventilatory burden).
