For the participants who underwent PET imaging (N=38), 4/38 participants used continuous positive airway pressure therapy during sleep monitoring. For participants with CSF (N=104), 12/104 participants used continuous positive airway pressure therapy and 1 participant used lateral position therapy device during sleep monitoring.
