PURPOSE: To establish a simple and noninvasive screening test for sleep apnea (SA) that imposes less burden on potential patients. The specific objective of this study was to verify the effectiveness of past and future single-lead electrocardiogram (...
PURPOSE: Accurately identifying sleep states (REM, NREM, and Wake) and brief awakenings (arousals) is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for such assessments but is costly and requires overnight monit...
PURPOSE: This exploratory study introduces a portable, wearable device using a single accelerometer to monitor twelve sleep positions. Targeted for home use, the device aims to assist patients with mild conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux dise...
PURPOSE: Despite increased awareness of sleep hygiene, over 80% of sleep apnea cases remain undiagnosed, underscoring the need for accessible screening methods. This study presents a method for detecting sleep apnea using data from the Apple Watch's ...
BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is still unknown, despite clinical reports linking the two conditions. After investigating potential roles for DM-related genes in the pathophysiology of OSA,...
PURPOSE: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by pharyngeal airway collapse during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia, intrathoracic pressure swings, and sleep fragmentation. OSA is associated with various co...
PURPOSE: Conventional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis via polysomnography can be costly and inaccessible. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the use of craniofacial photographs to diagnose OSA. This meta-analysis aim...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the differences and associations of hypoxic parameters among distinct types of respiratory events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to construct prediction models for the types of respiratory events based on hyp...
PURPOSE: This study aims to develop sleep apnea screening models with overnight SpO2 data, and to investigate the impact of the SpO2 data granularity on model performance.
