The Association Between MSLT Values and IL-6 and Cortisol Levels in Patients With OSA.
| Predictors | MSLT (min) | |
|---|---|---|
| N = 58 | Β | p |
| 24-h IL-6 (pg/mL) | −0.335 | .008 |
| Daytime IL-6 (pg/mL) | −0.299 | .016 |
| Nighttime IL-6 (pg/ mL) | −0.375 | .004 |
| 24-hour cortisol (µg/dL) | 0.162 | .184 |
| Daytime cortisol (µg/dL) | 0.347 | .011 |
| Nighttime cortisol (µg/dL) | 0.040 | .750 |
Values that are associated with a p value < .05 are given in bold. β and p values of multiple linear regression models were calculated after adjusting for age, gender, BMI, nighttime sleep onset latency, total sleep time, wake time after sleep onset and min SaO2. MSLT = Multiple Sleep Latency Test; Daytime: 08:00 am–22:00 pm; Nighttime: 23:00 pm–07:00 am.
