Figure 1 Estimated cumulative incidence of incident hospitalized atrial fibrillation/flutter and all-cause mortality by severity of obstructive sleep apnea as measured by the AHI. AHI = apnea-hypopnea index. CHEST 2018 154, 1330-1339DOI: (10.1016/j.chest.2018.08.1075) Copyright © 2018 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 Estimated cumulative incidence of incident hospitalized atrial fibrillation/flutter and all-cause mortality according to severity of nocturnal hypoxemia. SaO2 = oxygen saturation.

Figure 3 Results from multivariable Cox regression model presented as standardized hazard ratios (comparing 75th percentile with 25th percentile). CHF = congestive heart failure; PerSat90 = percentage of sleep time spent with oxygen saturation < 90%.
