Recent studies have found excessive redundancy in the SAHS-related information usually extracted from SpO2, while proposing only two features as a reduced set to be used. On the other hand, it has been suggested that SpO2 bispectral analysis is able to provide complementary information to common anthropometric, spectral, and clinical variables. We address these novel findings to assess whether bispectrum provides new non-redundant information to help in SAHS diagnosis. Thus, we use 981 pediatric SpO2 recordings to extract both the reduced set of features recently proposed as well as 9 bispectral features. Then, a feature selection method based on the fast correlation-based filter and bootstrapping is used to assess redundancy among all the features. Finally, the non-redundant ones are used to train a Bayesian multi-layer perceptron neural network (BY-MLP) that estimate the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which is the diagnostic reference variable. Bispectral phase entropy was found complementary to the two previously recommended features and a BY-MLP model trained with the three of them reached high agreement with actual AHI (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.889). Estimated AHI also showed high diagnostic ability, reaching 82.1%, 81.9%, and 90.3% accuracies and 0.814, 0.880, and 0.922 area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve for three common AHI thresholds: 1 e/h, 5 e/h, and 10 e/h, respectively. These results suggest that the information extracted from the bispectrum of SpO2 can improve the diagnostic performance of the oximetry test.
