P value 1 adjusts for site, race (African American vs non-African American), age (5–7 vs 8–10 y), and weight (<85th vs ≥85th percentile).
P value 2 adjusts for site, race (African American vs non-African American), age (5–7 vs 8–10 y), and weight (<85th vs ≥85th percentile), gender, season (August to November vs other), baseline Log (AHI), and baseline value of outcome variable.
