Parameter values are presented as medians and interquartile ranges.

(#)

denotes statistical significance between No-Comorbidities group and the group under the hashtag.

(*)

denotes statistically significant difference compared to the corresponding absence group.

Statistical significance of differences (p<0.05) was determined with Mann-Whitney U test. PSG = polysomnography, ODI = oxygen desaturation index, DesSev = desaturation severity, DesDur = desaturation duration, avg. DesArea = average desaturation area of individual desaturation events, avg. DesDur = average desaturation duration of individual desaturation events.
