- Poor respiratory-specific QOL defined as the 20% highest AQ-20R scores, 11 through 20
- Mild OSA defined as apnea-hypopnea index greater than 5 but lower to 15. Moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea defined as apnea-hypopnea index equal as or higher than 15
- ESS, FSS, PCS of the Short Form-12 are scaled per standard deviation units for comparability among scales. The PCS of the Short Form-12 is reversed scored for this analysis to indicate risk with poorer generic quality of life
- Age, sex, marital status and BMI were included in the model (other than younger age (OR 0.99, p = 0.03), none were statistically significantly associated with poorer QOL)
