Data are for the total randomized population (as previously presented in Malhotra et al. (2024) [8].

Data are mean ± SD unless otherwise specified.

AHI = apnea-hypopnea index; BMI = body mass index; CV = coefficient of variation; OSA = obstructive sleep apnea; SASHB = sleep apnea-specific hypoxic burden; SD = standard deviation.

Data are geometric means (coefficient of variation, %).
