Automatic Cephalometric Evaluation of Patients Suffering from Sleep-Disordered Breathing
We address the problem of automatically analyzing lateral cephalometric images as a diagnostic tool for patients suffering from Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). First, multiple landmarks and anatomical structures that were previously associated with SDB are localized. Then statistical regression is applied in order to estimate the Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI), which is the standard meas...
متن کاملSleep disordered breathing in hospitalized patients.
STUDY OBJECTIVE There is a relatively small body of literature looking at sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in acutely ill inpatients. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of SDB in acutely ill patients admitted to tertiary care centers referred for an inpatient polysomnogram and to identify associations between SDB and patient characteristics. METHODS The study was a retrospectiv...
متن کاملSleep and sleep disordered breathing in hospitalized patients.
Sleep is a fundamental physiological process necessary for recovery from acute illness. Unfortunately for hospitalized patients, sleep is often short, fragmented, and poor in quality, and may be associated with adverse outcomes including inpatient delirium. Many factors contribute to poor sleep in the hospital setting, including preexisting sleep deprivation, sleep disordered breathing, environ...
متن کاملSLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING Effect of increased lung volume on sleep disordered breathing in patients with sleep apnoea
Background: Previous studies have shown that changes in lung volume influence upper airway size and resistance, particularly in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) requirements decrease when the lung volume is increased. We sought to determine the effect of a constant lung volume increase on sleep disordered breathing during non-REM ...
متن کاملSleep-disordered breathing comorbidities
Measurements and main results: Relative to subjects with a respiratory disturbance index of less than 5.0 events/hour (the reference category), subjects with mild SDB (5.0–14.9 events/hour) and moderate to severe SDB (≥15 events/hour) had adjusted odds ratios of 1.27 (95% confidence interval: 0.98, 1.64) and 1.46 (95% confidence interval: 1.09, 1.97), respectively, for fasting glucose intoleran...
