Estimation of Total Sleep Time From Respiratory Event Intervals in Sleep Disordered Breathing
ABSTRACT The correct identification of respiratory events and estimation of total sleep time (TST), done in a sleep clinic with polysomnography (PSG), are central elements in the diagnostic process of sleep‐disordered breathing and in the quantification of its severity with the apnoea‐hypopnea index (AHI). However, total sleep time may not be available

ABSTRACT Accurate peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements are critical for evaluating sleep patients, particularly those with frequent desaturations due to pathological breathing events. We compared synchronised SpO2 measurements obtained from three anatomical sites (finger, forehead and toe) in patients undergoing routine Type 1 ...

In obstructive sleep apnea, the breathing after each obstructive event is affected by cortical arousal. Across two cohorts (N = 1781 and N = 67), arousal presence raised post‐event ventilation by 17–30%Eupnea, with each intensity step adding 1–4%Eupnea, independent of chemoreflex drive.

ABSTRACT Machine learning provides a powerful tool to capture complex, nonlinear patterns in biomedical data and enhance precision risk stratification. In this study, we applied a multilayer perceptron (MLP) framework to classify Framingham Risk Score–based cardiovascular risk categories in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

ABSTRACT Nasal breathing is the preferred route of breathing during sleep. Indeed, nasal blockage can cause obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in otherwise healthy people. Whilst multi‐level pharyngeal surgery reduces OSA severity, efficacy varies and changes in OSA pathophysiology post‐surgery have not been well characterised.

ABSTRACT Women with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) report more severe functional impairments than men, despite lower apnoea‐hypopnoea index (AHI) values. This raises questions about the adequacy of AHI for capturing OSA severity. We explored sex differences in functional outcomes in OSA patients and examined whether AHI or hypoxic burden (HB) better ...

Impaired Alertness Correlates With Chronic Anxiety: A Prospective Tertiary University Centre Cohort
ABSTRACT The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is a widely used objective measure of daytime alertness, especially in patients with sleep disorders at increased risk of accidents. Anxiety and depression are common in this population and may influence subjective sleepiness and objective alertness.

ABSTRACT Sleep‐related breathing disorders (SRBD) represent a significant paediatric health concern. Traditional polysomnographic indices, such as the apnoea–hypopnoea index, may not fully capture the physiological burden of paediatric SRBD, highlighting the need to better characterise the impact of nocturnal hypoxemia on cardiac autonomic regulation ...

ABSTRACT Sleep and sleep disturbances, such as sleep apnoea and insomnia, are linked to mental health, particularly, depressive symptoms. It remains unclear however, if sleep fragmentation or hypoxia is primarily linked to depressive symptoms and how insomnia symptoms affect this relationship in samples free of clinical referral bias. We analysed cross‐

ABSTRACT Light interventions have been investigated for treating sleep disturbances in older adults; however, findings are mixed. This proof‐of‐concept trial investigated the effect of blue‐enriched ambient light on electroencephalographic (EEG) sleep in older adults with self‐reported poor sleep.
