Obstructive sleep apnea defined by Apnea Hypopnea Index of 2 or more.
B- regression coefficient for the constant; S.E.- standard error around coefficient for the constant; Wald chi-square- tests null hypothesis that the constant equals 0; df- degrees of freedom for Wald chi-square test; Sig.- null hypothesis rejected when p-value is <0.001; Exp(B)- odds ratio
Variable entered in regression analysis on step 1, dysphagia.
Variables entered in regression analysis on step 2, dysphagia and congenital heart disease. The combination of dysphagia and congenital heart disease demonstrates increased statistical significance in regard to the criterion, obstructive sleep apnea.
Including atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, atrioventricular canal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, aortic coarctation, and patent ductus arteriosus.
Denotes statistical significance.
