Definition of abbreviations: AHI = apnea–hypopnea index; BMI = body mass index; BODE = body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity; CT = computed tomography; OSA = obstructive sleep apnea; REM = rapid eye movement; TST = total sleep time.

Data are presented as the mean ± SD unless otherwise indicated.

*

Based on Fisher’s exact test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

Missing values for BMI, CT-derived percent emphysema, and CT-derived percent gas trapping for the OSA/no OSA groups: 1/0, 5/4, and 10/5, respectively.
