| ΔAHI# | Adjusted for ΔBMI | |||
| β | p-value | β | p-value | |
| ΔCholesterol | 0.096 | 0.316 | 0.052 | 0.590 |
| ΔTriglycerides | 0.372 | 0.019 | 0.317 | 0.044 |
| ΔHDL-C | −0.112 | 0.001 | −0.112 | 0.001 |
| ΔLDL-C | 0.153 | 0.159 | 0.136 | 0.212 |
#: initial value while obstructive sleep apnoea was untreated minus value after 6 months of bilevel or continuous positive airway pressure therapy; BMI: body mass index; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
