Results from multivariable mixed model. For each candidate exposure, the model evaluated its relationship with lung to finger circulation time (LFCT) (the outcome), grouping by subject and with random effects for slope and intercept. Each model was adjusted for age (continuous), race, sex, height, weight and apnea hypopnea index. SpO2, oxygen saturation; REM, rapid eye movement sleep; NREM, Non-REM sleep.
