  1. Patients were grouped into mild to moderate (AHI at < 30/h, n = 29 patients) or severe OSAHS (AHI ≥ 30/h, n = 40 patients). Data are presented as mean ± SD or median (interquartile range) unless otherwise stated. Differences between the two groups were considered significant at p < 0.05 (indicated in bold)
