OR = odds ratio. See Table 1 for expansion of other abbreviation.
Pharmacy refill adherence is measured as the percent of d covered with a lipid-lowering medication, calculated as the number of d covered divided by the total number of d on drug therapy during the exposure window in the year before CPAP initiation.
Other race category consists of Pacific Islander, Asian, and Indian American (n = 5), and race classification missing (n = 4).
