Tracheal Sound Analysis Using a Deep Neural Network to Detect Sleep Apnea.

ABSTRACT: STUDY OBJECTIVES:Portable devices for home sleep apnea testing are often limited by their inability to discriminate sleep/wake status, possibly resulting in underestimations. Tracheal sound (TS), which can be visualized as a spectrogram, carries information about apnea/hypopnea and sleep/wake status. We hypothesized that image analysis of all-night TS recordings by a deep neural network (DNN) would be capable of detecting breathing events and classifying sleep/wake status. The aim of this study is to develop a DNN-based system for sleep apnea testing and validate it using a large sampling of polysomnography (PSG) data. METHODS:PSG examinations for the evaluation of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) were performed for 1,852 patients: 1,548 PSG records were used to develop the system, and the remaining 304 records were used for validation. TS spectrogram images were obtained every 60 seconds and labeled with the PSG scoring results (breathing event and sleep/wake status), then introduced to DNN learning. Two different DNNs were trained for breathing status and sleep/wake status, respectively. RESULTS:A DNN with convolutional layers showed the best performance for discriminating breathing status. The same DNN structure was trained for sleep/wake discrimination. In the validation study, the DNN analysis was capable of discriminating the sleep/wake status with reasonable accuracy. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for diagnosis of SDB with apnea-hypopnea index of > 5, 15, and 30 were 0.98, 0.76, and 0.99; 0.97, 0.90, and 0.99; and 0.92, 0.94, and 0.98, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The developed system using the TS DNN analysis has a good performance for SDB testing. CITATION:Nakano H, Furukawa T, Tanigawa T.

Project description:Background: Performance of wrist actigraphy in assessing sleep not only depends on the sensor technology of the actigraph hardware but also on the attributes of the interpretative algorithm (IA). The objective of our research was to improve assessment of sleep quality, relative to existing IAs, through development of a novel IA using deep learning methods, utilizing as input activity count and heart rate variability (HRV) metrics of different window length (number of epochs of data). Methods: Simultaneously recorded polysomnography (PSG) and wrist actigraphy data of 222 participants were utilized. Classic deep learning models were applied to: (a) activity count alone (without HRV), (b) activity count + HRV (30-s window), (c) activity count + HRV (3-min window), and (d) activity count + HRV (5-min window) to ascertain the best set of inputs. A novel deep learning model (Haghayegh Algorithm, HA), founded on best set of inputs, was developed, and its sleep scoring performance was then compared with the most popular University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Actiwatch proprietary IAs. Results: Activity count combined with HRV metrics calculated per 5-min window produced highest agreement with PSG. HA showed 84.5% accuracy (5.3-6.2% higher than comparator IAs), 89.5% sensitivity (6.2% higher than UCSD IA and 6% lower than Actiwatch proprietary IA), 70.0% specificity (8.2-34.3% higher than comparator IAs), and 58.7% Kappa agreement (16-23% higher than comparator IAs) in detecting sleep epochs. HA did not differ significantly from PSG in deriving sleep parameters-sleep efficiency, total sleep time, sleep onset latency, and wake after sleep onset; moreover, bias and mean absolute error of the HA model in estimating them was less than the comparator IAs. HA showed, respectively, 40.9% and 54.0% Kappa agreement with PSG in detecting rapid and non-rapid eye movement (REM and NREM) epochs. Conclusions: The HA model simultaneously incorporating activity count and HRV metrics calculated per 5-min window demonstrates significantly better sleep scoring performance than existing popular IAs.

Project description:Many wearables allow physiological data acquisition in sleep and enable clinicians to assess sleep outside of sleep labs. Belun Sleep Platform (BSP) is a novel neural network-based home sleep apnea testing system utilizing a wearable ring device to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The objective of the study is to assess the performance of BSP for the evaluation of OSA. Subjects who take heart rate-affecting medications and those with non-arrhythmic comorbidities were included in this cohort. Polysomnography (PSG) studies were performed simultaneously with the Belun Ring in individuals who were referred to the sleep lab for an overnight sleep study. The sleep studies were manually scored using the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Scoring Manual (version 2.4) with 4% desaturation hypopnea criteria. A total of 78 subjects were recruited. Of these, 45% had AHI < 5; 18% had AHI 5-15; 19% had AHI 15-30; 18% had AHI ≥ 30. The Belun apnea-hypopnea index (bAHI) correlated well with the PSG-AHI (r = 0.888, P < 0.001). The Belun total sleep time (bTST) and PSG-TST had a high correlation coefficient (r = 0.967, P < 0.001). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity in categorizing AHI ≥ 15 were 0.808 [95% CI, 0.703-0.888], 0.931 [95% CI, 0.772-0.992], and 0.735 [95% CI, 0.589-0.850], respectively. The use of beta-blocker/calcium-receptor antagonist and the presence of comorbidities did not negatively affect the sensitivity and specificity of BSP in predicting OSA. A diagnostic algorithm combining STOP-Bang cutoff of 5 and bAHI cutoff of 15 events/h demonstrated an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity of 0.938 [95% CI, 0.828-0.987], 0.944 [95% CI, 0.727-0.999], and 0.933 [95% CI, 0.779-0.992], respectively, for the diagnosis of moderate to severe OSA. BSP is a promising testing tool for OSA assessment and can potentially be incorporated into clinical practices for the identification of OSA.
