- The table reports demographic and clinical features. Frequencies are expressed as numbers and percentages (%). Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median, first and third quartile [q1–q3]. BMI, body mass index; LOS, length of stay; CAD, coronary artery disease; DVT, deep vein thrombosis; CVD, cerebral-vascular disease; CKD, chronic kidney disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; OSAS, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure; PSV, pressure support ventilation; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure
