Definition of abbreviations: 4-AP = 4-aminopyridine; AHI = apnea-hypopnea index; ArI = arousal index; NREM1, NREM2, and NREM3 = non-rapid eye movement sleep stages 1, 2, and 3; REM = rapid eye movement sleep; SE = sleep efficiency; TST = total sleep time.
Data are expressed as median [interquartile range].
