Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Adherence for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Table 2

The patients were stratified by sex and placed into a logistic regression model predicting group. The model for females showed that no variables were significant. The model for males, however, had a significant AHI variable ( 𝑃 v a l u e = . 𝟎 𝟐 𝟔 ) and a significant two-way interaction between age and AHI ( 𝑃 v a l u e = . 𝟎 𝟐 𝟑 ). Older ages with higher AHI values are associated with a higher chance of being compliant. There were sixty-six observations with 32 compliers that were used in the analysis for males and 29 observations with 12 compliers that were used for the analysis of females.
