Baseline and control values of sleep and respiratory variables in the 26 patients who completed the study
| Baseline | With an MAD | p Value | |
| Age (years) | 51±11 | ||
| Gender (males/females) | 18/8 | ||
| BMI (kg/m2) | 27.8±4.3 | 27.6±4.4 | 0.33 |
| AHI (n/h) | 30.3±16.9 | 10.9±8.8 | <0.01 |
| Supine AHI (n/h) | 51.8±19.1 | 19.6±12.6 | <0.01 |
| Time supine (% TST) | 44.7±24.4 | 45.7±23.8 | 0.81 |
| ESS | 10.8±4.9 | 6.4±3.3 | <0.01 |
| Sleep efficiency (%) | 75.3±15.3 | 82.8±9 | 0.02 |
| % TST <90% Sao2 | 0.2 (0.0–7.8) | 0.0 (0.0–2.1) | <0.01 |
| Respiratory arousal index (n/h) | 13.5 (6.0–60.8) | 5.3 (0.4–38.0) | <0.01 |
Except for % TST <90% Sao2 and the respiratory arousal index that are expressed as median (min–max), variables are reported as the mean±SD.
AHI, apnoea–hypopnoea index; BMI, body mass index; ESS, Epworth Sleepiness Score.
