Odds Ratios Associating Sleep Apnea with COVID-19 Mortality and Severe Morbidity

Outcome	Reference	Model 1 (Unadjusted)	Model 2 (Adjusted for Demographics)	Model 3 (Model 2 Plus WHO BMI Class)	Model 4 (Model 3 Plus Comorbidities)
Death	Alive	1.79 (1.31–2.45)*	1.53 (1.08–2.15)†	1.39 (0.97–1.98)‡	1.16 (0.8–1.68)
Death, mechanical ventilation, or ICU admission	All others	1.64 (1.32–2.04)*	1.29 (1.03–1.62)†	1.11 (0.87–1.40)	1.04 (0.81–1.34)
Inpatient admission	Outpatient	1.55 (1.27–1.89)*	1.18 (0.95–1.45)	1.01 (0.81–1.26)	0.91 (0.72–1.14)

Definition of abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; COVID-19 = coronavirus disease; WHO = World Health Organization.

Results are presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Model 1 = unadjusted (base); model 2 = adjusted for race and ethnicity, age, sex (demographics); model 3 = model 2 plus BMI (demographics + BMI); model 4 = model 3 plus asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, essential hypertension, BMI, and type 2 diabetes (fully adjusted).
