Logistic regression between abnormal oximetry measures and steady-state vitamin C deficiency, N=23
| Variable | Vitamin C sufficient (%) | Vitamin C deficient (%) | OR [95% CI], p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean daytime SpO2 <96% | 3/12 (25) | 6/11 (54.6) | 3.60 [0.62 – 21.03], p = 0.155 |
| Mean overnight SpO2 <94% | 2/12 (16.7) | 2/11 (18.2) | 1.11 [0.13 – 9.61], p = 0.92 |
| Delta 12 s Index >0.4 | 2/12 (16.7) | 7/11 (63.7) | 8.75 [1.24 – 61.7], p = 0.029 |
| Overnight SpO2 dips (> 3%) >4/h | 5/12 (41.7) | 8/11 (72.7) | 3.77 [0.65 – 21.6], p = 0.14 |
