Continuous data with normal distribution are presented as mean ± SD, and continuous data with nonnormal distribution are presented as median (first quartile, third quartile). TST: total sleep time; AHI: apnea-hypopnea index; REM: rapid eye movement; N-REM: nonrapid eye movement; SpO2: arterial oxygen saturation; ODI: oxygen desaturation index ().
