Table 3. Multiple linear regression analysis between SDNNIDX and TST90.

SDNNIDX, ms Regression coefficient Confidence Interval P value
TST90, % 0.40 0.04 to 0.76 0.029
Age, y −0.32 −0.58 to −0.06 0.017
Female sex −4.81 −9.85 to 0.24 0.062
Beta-blocker therapy −9.18 −20.28 to 1.92 0.105
Cups of coffee before bedtime, n 5.36 −0.46 to 11.17 0.071
Heart rate, n/min −1.27 −1.57 to −0.96 <0.001
Total sleep time, h −0.04 −0.09 to 0.01 0.080

Adjusted R2=0.27. SDNNIDX, mean of the standard deviations of normal sinus-to-normal sinus interbeat (NN) intervals in all 5-minute segments; TST90, total sleep time with peripheral oxygen saturation below 90%. In this model, total sleep time has been added as a controlling variable since TST90 is not a frequency index.
