Subanalysis (SI for sleep segments with CPAP vs. without CPAP in SCI and able-bodied subjects)
| CPAP (swallows/h) | No CPAP (swallows/h) | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Able-bodied | 2.35 ± 2.22 | 4.38 ± 5.55 | 0.36 |
| SCI (C/T) | 0.29 ± 0.70* | 5.68 ± 2.74 | 0.006 |
All values are mean ± SD; n = 8 able-bodied, 6 SCI. CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure; SCI (C/T), cervical/thoracic spinal cord injury; SI, swallow index.
The statistical test used is two-way paired t-test.
