Table 3 Multiple logistic regression analyses showing that high risk for significant OSA based on the mNOSAS score was selected by the model with a 14 times risk of developing a severe COVID-19 AE (A), and that the age at admission, the mNOSAS score, reduced dyspnea sensation at admission and the severity of COVID-19 AE were associated with the risk of developing severe disability at discharge (mRS score ≥ 3)
