Multivariable HR for MACCE according to the quartile of the AHI and logarithm‐transformed AHI for the entire study group. HR increased significantly with the AHI quartiles and logarithm‐transformed AHI in a dose‐dependent manner for MACCE. There was a significant trend toward worse cumulative event‐free survival as the quartile increased. AHI indicates apnea–hypopnea index; HR, hazard ratio; MACCE, major adverse cardio‐cerebrovascular events.
