Population characteristics
The initial characteristics of 64 OSA cases (AHIā„5 events/h) and 27
controls are presented in Table 1 . No significant changes were
found between the OSA and control group in sex (all male) age and BMI.
Individuals with OSA had more AHI and lower nighttime SpO2 (CT90 and
L-SpO2) in PSG. As anticipated, RSI and RFS score of OSA patients were
higher than the controls.
