Number of night awakenings Desaturation index 0.636 0.003*
Daytime sleep duration AHI in sleep 0.767 0.075+

*P value < 0.05. +P value < 0.10.

AHI: Apnea-Hypopnea Index (events/hour); Desaturation index: desaturation events/hour; “Arousal count” means total number of arousal during sleep; “Obstructive apnea count” means total number of obstructive apnea during sleep.
