Values are reported as mean (SD) for normally distributed continuous variables and median (interquartile range, Q1–Q3) for nonnormally distributed continuous variables unless otherwise stated. A Mann-Whitney U test was used for nonnormally distributed data and a chi-square test was used for category variables. aBetween LSAT and PSG. bBetween HSAT and PSG. AHI = apnea-hypopnea index, HSAT = home sleep apnea testing, LSAT = laboratory sleep apnea testing, NREM = nonrapid eye movement, ODI = oxygen desaturation index, OSA = obstructive sleep apnea, PSG = polysomnography, RDI = respiratory disturbance index, REM = rapid eye movement, SpO2 = oxygen saturation, T90 = time with SpO2 below 90%, TST = total sleep time.
