WBC: white blood cells; RBC: red blood cells; MPV: mean platelet volume; PDW: platelet distribution width; HDL: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL: very low density lipoprotein cholesterol; P < 0.05. Both HDL and triglyceride were found to be significantly high in severe OSAS group compared to normal population (: 0.001 and : 0.013).
