Data are presented as (range) as well as correlation and 95% confidence interval. . SMHSQ: St. Mary’s Hospital Sleep Questionnaire; WatchPAT (Itamar Medical, Caesarea, Israel): portable sleep monitoring device; : Pearson’s correlation; Partial : partial correlation. Partial correlation was computed and adjusted for admission type, anesthesia type, depression, obesity, and pAHI. value was obtained from paired test to compare the mean values between WatchPAT and SMHSQ.
