ODI, oxygen desaturation index; Coef, coefficient; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Coef indicates the mean change in outcome variable among ODI ≥15 vs. ODI <15 in crude unadjusted and adjusted models, where adjustment is done by adding BMI and BP, fasting glucose and HDL cholesterol, or all 4 factors to the model.

a

AUC, area under the curve (%*min); amp, amplitude (%); rate, rate (slope) (%/min).

b

AUC, area under the curve (nanomoles*min); amp, amplitude (nanomoles); rate, rate (slope) (nanomoles/min).

c

In cases where non-normality of residuals was not detected, coefficient and inference are both valid and shown.

d

In cases where non-normality of residuals was detected, only coefficient is valid and shown.
