Sputum eosinophils and PMNs (expressed as percentage of sputum total white blood cell counts) in asthmatic subjects with and without high OSA risk (defined as scores on Sleep Apnea scale of the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire [SA-SDQ] ≥ 36 for men and ≥32 for women). In subjects with high OSA risk compared with those without high OSA, there were higher % PMNs, whereas % sputum eosinophils were similar between the 2 groups. *P value = .001 (2-sample Student t-test). OSA, Obstructive sleep apnea; PMNs, polymorphonuclear neutrophils.

3. Figure 2
Proportion of sputum inflammatory phenotypes in asthmatic subjects with and without high OSA risk (defined as scores on Sleep Apnea scale of the Sleep Disorders Questionnaire [SA-SDQ] ≥ 36 for men and ≥32 for women). Asthmatic subjects with high OSA risk, compared with those without high OSA risk, tended to have higher proportions of neutrophilic and mixed granulocytic, and lower proportions of eosinophilic and paucigranulocytic phenotypes (P = .06, Fisher's exact test). OSA, obstructive sleep apnea.
