K1 Oximetry
AB Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is a chronic sleep-related breathing disorder, which is currently considered a major health problem. In-lab nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) is the gold standard diagnostic technique though it is complex and relatively unavailable. On the other hand, the analysis of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) from nocturnal pulse oximetry (NPO) is a simple, noninvasive, highly available and effective alternative. This study focused on the design and assessment of a neural network (NN) aimed at detecting SAHS using information from at-home unsupervised portable SpO2 recordings. A Bayesian multilayer perceptron NN (MLP-NN) was proposed, fed with complementary oximetric features properly selected. A dataset composed of 320 unattended SpO2 recordings was analyzed (60% for training and 40% for validation). The proposed Bayesian MLP-NN achieved 94.2% sensitivity, 69.6% specificity, and 89.8% accuracy in the test set. Our results suggest that automated analysis of at-home portable NPO recordings by means of Bayesian MLP-NN could be an effective and highly available technique in the context of SAHS diagnosis.
