Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is one of the most common sleep disorders affecting nearly one billion of the global adult population, making it a major public health issue. Even if in-lab polysomnography (PSG) remains the gold stan...
BACKGROUND: Maintenance hemodialysis patients experience high morbidity and mortality, primarily from cardiovascular and infectious diseases. It was discovered recently that low arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) is associated with a pro-inflammatory p...
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 (...
This study explores the development of a deep learning model using a neck-wearable piezoelectric sensor to accurately distinguish severe sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) from habitual snoring, addressing the underdiagnosis of SAS in adults. From 2018 to 20...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children is a prevalent and serious respiratory condition linked to cardiovascular morbidity. Polysomnography, the standard diagnostic approach, faces challenges in accessibility and complexity, leading to underdiagno...
Sleep apnea, a fatal sleep disorder causing repetitive respiratory cessation, requires immediate intervention due to neuropsychological issues. However, existing approaches such as polysomnography, considered the most reliable and accurate test to de...
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 ...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is widespread, under-recognized, and under-treated, impacting the health and quality of life for millions. The current gold standard for sleep apnea testing is based on the in-lab sleep study, which is costly, cumbersome...
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) affects about 3-7% of the global population, but is often undiagnosed. It involves pauses in breathing during sleep, for at least 10 s, due to partial or total airway blockage. The current gold standard for diagnosing SAS i...
