Data are presented as mean ± SD, median (minimum, maximum) or count (%). *ANOVA (analysis of variance); **chi-square test. P values compare 5 subgroups: Chi-square compared White vs non-White patients; some patients selected multiple races, which is why the cumulative number is higher than the total amount of patients. AHI = apnea-hypopnea index, SD = standard deviation.
