[PMID: 38387048 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6579/ad2c13] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objective. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) poses health risks linked to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. However, the time-consuming and costly standard diagnostic method, polysomnography (PSG), limits its wide adoption and leads to underdiagnosis. To tackle this, cost-effective algorithms using single-lead signals (like respiratory, blood oxygen, and electrocardiogram) have emerged. Despite respiratory signals being preferred for SDB assessment, a lack of comprehensive reviews addressing their algorithmic scope and performance persists. This paper systematically reviews 2012-2022 literature, covering signal sources, processing, feature extraction, classification, and application, aiming to bridge this gap and provide future research references.Methods. This systematic review followed the registered PROSPERO protocol (CRD42022385130), initially screening 342 papers, with 32 studies meeting data extraction criteria.Results. Respiratory signal sources include nasal airflow (NAF), oronasal airflow (OAF), and respiratory movement-related signals such as thoracic respiratory effort (TRE) and abdominal respiratory effort (ARE). Classification techniques include threshold rule-based methods (8), machine learning models (13), and deep learning models (11). The NAF-based algorithm achieved the highest average accuracy at 94.11%, surpassing 78.19% for other signals. Hypopnea detection sensitivity with single-source respiratory signals remained modest, peaking at 73.34%. The TRE and ARE signals proved to be reliable in identifying different types of SDB because distinct respiratory disorders exhibited different patterns of chest and abdominal motion.Conclusions. Multiple detection algorithms have been widely applied for SDB detection, and their accuracy is closely related to factors such as signal source, signal processing, feature selection, and model selection.

Sleep Med 2024; 114:211-219. [PMID: 38232604 PMCID: PMC10872216 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2024.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND /Objective: Automatic apnea/hypopnea events classification, crucial for clinical applications, often faces challenges, particularly in hypopnea detection. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a combined approach using nasal respiration flow (RF), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), and ECG signals during polysomnography (PSG) for improved sleep apnea/hypopnea detection and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity screening. METHODS An Xception network was trained using main features from RF, SpO2, and ECG signals obtained during PSG. In addition, we incorporated demographic data for enhanced performance. The detection of apnea/hypopnea events was based on RF and SpO2 feature sets, while the screening and severity categorization of OSA utilized predicted apnea/hypopnea events in conjunction with demographic data. RESULTS Using RF and SpO2 feature sets, our model achieved an accuracy of 94 % in detecting apnea/hypopnea events. For OSA screening, an exceptional accuracy of 99 % and an AUC of 0.99 were achieved. OSA severity categorization yielded an accuracy of 93 % and an AUC of 0.91, with no misclassification between normal and mild OSA versus moderate and severe OSA. However, classification errors predominantly arose in cases with hypopnea-prevalent participants. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method offers a robust automatic detection system for apnea/hypopnea events, requiring fewer sensors than traditional PSG, and demonstrates exceptional performance. Additionally, the classification algorithms for OSA screening and severity categorization exhibit significant discriminatory capacity.

Abstract
Sleep apnea is defined as a breathing disorder that affects sleep. Early detection of sleep apnea helps doctors to take intervention for patients to prevent sleep apnea. Manually making this determination is a time-consuming and subjectivity problem. Therefore, many different methods based on polysomnography (PSG) have been proposed and applied to detect this disorder. In this study, a unique two-layer method is proposed, in which there are four different deep learning models in the deep neural network (DNN), gated recurrent unit (GRU), recurrent neural network (RNN), RNN-based-long term short term memory (LSTM) architecture in the first layer, and a machine learning-based meta-learner (decision-layer) in the second layer. The strategy of making a preliminary decision in the first layer and verifying/correcting the results in the second layer is adopted. In the training of this architecture, a vector consisting of 23 features consisting of snore, oxygen saturation, arousal and sleep score data is used together with PSG data. A dataset consisting of 50 patients, both children and adults, is prepared. A number of pre-processing and under-sampling applications have been made to eliminate the problem of unbalanced classes. Proposed method has an accuracy of 95.74% and 99.4% in accuracy of apnea detection (apnea, hypopnea and normal) and apnea types detection (central, mixed and obstructive), respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that patient-independent consistent results can be produced with high accuracy. This robust model can be considered as a system that will help in the decisions of sleep clinics where it is expected to detect sleep disorders in detail with high performance.

Abstract
Clinical sleep analysis require manual analysis of sleep patterns for correct diagnosis of sleep disorders. However, several studies have shown significant variability in manual scoring of clinically relevant discrete sleep events, such as arousals, leg movements, and sleep disordered breathing (apneas and hypopneas). We investigated whether an automatic method could be used for event detection and if a model trained on all events (joint model) performed better than corresponding event-specific models (single-event models). We trained a deep neural network event detection model on 1653 individual recordings and tested the optimized model on 1000 separate hold-out recordings. F1 scores for the optimized joint detection model were 0.70, 0.63, and 0.62 for arousals, leg movements, and sleep disordered breathing, respectively, compared to 0.65, 0.61, and 0.60 for the optimized single-event models. Index values computed from detected events correlated positively with manual annotations (r2 = 0.73, r2 = 0.77, r2 = 0.78, respectively). We furthermore quantified model accuracy based on temporal difference metrics, which improved overall by using the joint model compared to single-event models. Our automatic model jointly detects arousals, leg movements and sleep disordered breathing events with high correlation with human annotations. Finally, we benchmark against previous state-of-the-art multi-event detection models and found an overall increase in F1 score with our proposed model despite a 97.5% reduction in model size.

Abstract
It is estimated that globally 425 million subjects have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The accurate prediction of sleep apnea events can offer insight into the development of treatment therapies. However, research related to this prediction is currently limited. We developed a covert framework for the prediction of sleep apnea events based on low-frequency breathing-induced vibrations obtained from piezoelectric sensors. A CNN-transformer network was utilized to efficiently extract local and global features from respiratory vibration signals for accurate prediction. Our study involved overnight recordings of 105 subjects. In five-fold cross-validation, we achieved an accuracy of 85.9% and an F1 score of 85.8%, which are 3.5% and 5.3% higher than the best-performed classical model, respectively. Additionally, in leave-one-out cross-validation, 2.3% and 3.8% improvements are observed, respectively. Our proposed CNN-transformer model is effective in the prediction of sleep apnea events. Our framework can thus provide a new perspective for improving OSA treatment modes and clinical management.

Abstract
Both sleep and wake encephalograms (EEG) change over the lifespan. While prior studies have characterized age-related changes in the EEG, the datasets span a particular age group, or focused on sleep and wake macrostructure rather than the microstructure. Here, we present sex-stratified data from 3372 community-based or clinic-based otherwise neurologically and psychiatrically healthy participants ranging from 11 days to 80 years of age. We estimate age norms for key sleep and wake EEG parameters including absolute and relative powers in delta, theta, alpha, and sigma bands, as well as sleep spindle density, amplitude, duration, and frequency. To illustrate the potential use of the reference measures developed herein, we compare them to sleep EEG recordings from age-matched participants with Alzheimer's disease, severe sleep apnea, depression, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. Although the partially clinical nature of the datasets may bias the findings towards less normal and hence may underestimate pathology in practice, age-based EEG reference values enable objective screening of deviations from healthy aging among individuals with a variety of disorders that affect brain health.

Abstract
Radar is a promising non-contact sensor for overnight polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This preliminary study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of the automated detection of apnea-hypopnea events for OSA diagnosis based on 60 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar using convolutional recurrent neural networks. The dataset comprised 44 participants from an ongoing OSA cohort, recruited from July 2021 to April 2022, who underwent overnight PSG with a radar sensor. All PSG recordings, including sleep and wakefulness, were included in the dataset. Model development and evaluation were based on a five-fold cross-validation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the classification of 1-min segments ranged from 0.796 to 0.859. Depending on OSA severity, the sensitivities for apnea-hypopnea events were 49.0-67.6%, and the number of false-positive detections per participant was 23.4-52.8. The estimated apnea-hypopnea index showed strong correlations (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.805-0.949) and good to excellent agreement (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.776-0.929) with the ground truth. There was substantial agreement between the estimated and ground truth OSA severity (kappa statistics = 0.648-0.736). The results demonstrate the potential of radar as a standalone screening tool for OSA.
