Results of sleep recordings
| HT group (n=102) | NHT group (n=102) | OR (95% CI) | Adjusted OR (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AHI=apnoea-hypopnoea index; DI=desaturation index; SI=snoring index. | ||||
| Parameters of sleep disordered breathing in the hypertensive (HT) and non-hypertensive (NHT) groups are presented as mean (SD) for continuous variables and as n (%) for proportions. For each parameter the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) is presented as well as the adjusted OR after adjusting for neck circumference and physical inactivity | ||||
