| Length of contact (minutes), mean (SE) | P-value1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Hypopnea | 5.46 (0.74) | <0.001 |
| No hypopnea | 2.72 (0.47) | |
| Apnea | 5.05 (1.02) | 0.038 |
| No apnea | 3.04 (0.49) | |
| Desaturation | 6.49 (0.66) | <0.001 |
| No desaturation | 2.25 (0.46) |

Analysis was adjusted to account for clustering of individual subjects’ data. Means provided are marginal means estimated from the final linear mixed model, with duration of contact as the outcome and event as the predictor.
