Comparison of Manual and Automated Scoring Techniques in Polysomnography

چکیده
Methods: The sleep recordings of 120 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) suspicion who underwent PSG at ear nose and throat clinic of Akdeniz University Hospital between January and June 2013 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI): AHI<5 (normal), AHI 5-15 (mild OSA), AHI 15-30 (moderate OSA) and AHI>30 (severe OSA). There were 30 patients in each group. Manually scored recordings were reanalysed with an automated programme and the results, including sleep stages and respiratory events, were compared.

This study assessed the accuracy of a cardiorespiratory monitoring device versus polysomnography for the diagnosis of suspected sleep apnoea/hypoponea syndrome (SAS). A total of 86 patients (89% male, mean age 52 yrs) that had been referred to a sleep laboratory with a clinical diagnosis of SAS underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy in an unattended mode using an ambulatory device (MERLIN). Ana...
متن کاملEffectiveness of sequential automatic-manual home respiratory polygraphy scoring.
Automatic home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) scoring functions can potentially confirm the diagnosis of sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) (obviating technician scoring) in a substantial number of patients. The result would have important management and cost implications. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic cost-effectiveness of a sequential HRP scoring protocol (automatic ...

Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT. We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the accuracy of manual and automatic scoring of a single airflow channel in patients with a high probability of obstructive sleep apnea
BACKGROUND ApneaLink (AL) is a single-channel type-4 device that measures airflow. A limited number of studies have assessed AL's usefulness in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using automated scoring alone. This study was conducted to assess the sensitivity and specificity of AL in a selected group of people with clinical suspicion of OSA, using both automatic and manual scoring and co...
