Proportion of sleep stages, %TST | ||||
REM sleep | 40.5% [30.1–49.1%] | 45.1% [30.4–53.9%] | 36.3% [48.4–90.5%] | .237 |

Data were not available for 4 patients (see Methods). Data are expressed as median and interquartile range. P values < .001 were considered statistically significant. AWO = isolated airway obstruction, NREM = non–rapid eye movement, PRS = Pierre Robin sequence, PSG = polysomnography, REM = rapid eye movement, TST = total sleep time.
