Continuous data presented as [Mean, 25/50/75]. Categorical data presented as [raw number, percentage].
The p value was determined by χ2 test for dichotomous variables and independent sample t-test (normally distributed data) or Kruskal-Wallis Test (non-normally distributed data) for continuous variables.
OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; TBI, traumatic brain injury; BMI, body mass index; SD, standard deviation.
