Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The manual annotation of polysomnography (PSG) hypnograms is difficult and time-consuming. U-Sleep is an alternative, fast, and publicly available, automated sleep staging system evaluated in adult PSGs. In this study, we compare the staging done by sleep experts and U-sleep in a pediatric sample.
