For all variables, the β coefficient, or aits geometric mean for log-transformed variables and corresponding P value are reported. AAI = arousal and awakening index, BMI = body-mass index, ETCO2 = end-tidal carbon dioxide, FEV1 = forced expiratory volume, FVC = forced vital capacity, ICS = inhaled corticosteroids, OSA = obstructive sleep apnea, PLMI = periodic limb movement index, REM = rapid eye movement, SE = sleep efficiency.
