Note: An incident diagnosis was defined as the first diagnosis for a potential comorbidity occurring at least one year after the first diagnosis date for sleep apnea. Otherwise, participants with prior diagnoses were excluded. Sample sizes will therefore vary by PheCode. Totally, 527 PheCodes with ≥1% overall prevalence were tested. Controls were matched for age, sex, BMI, population, and healthcare utilization. It was found that 170 nonredundant PheCodes were significantly associated following Bonferroni correction. Lead results are shown here. Complete results, including sex-stratified results and sample sizes, can be found in Table S5.
