Background: In 2007, the AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events was published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). Concerning the visual classification of sleep stages, these new rules are intended to replace the rules by Rechtschaffen and Kales (R&K). Methods: We adapted the automatic R&K sleep scoring system Somnolyzer 24 x 7 to comply with the AASM rules and subsequently performed a validation study based on 72 polysomnographies from the Siesta database (56 healthy subjects, 16 patients, 38 females, 34 males, aged 21-86 years). Scorings according to the AASM rules were performed manually by experienced sleep scorers and semi-automatically by the AASM version of the Somnolyzer. Manual scorings and Somnolyzer reviews were performed independently by at least 2 out of 8 experts from 4 sleep centers. Results: In the quality control process, sleep experts corrected 4.8 and 3.7% of the automatically assigned epochs, resulting in a reliability between 2 Somnolyzer-assisted scorings of 99% (Cohen's kappa: 0.99). In contrast, the reliability between the 2 manual scorings was 82% (kappa: 0.76). The agreement between the 2 Somnolyzer-assisted and the 2 visual scorings was between 81% (kappa: 0.75) and 82% (kappa: 0.76). Conclusion: The AASM version of the Somnolyzer revealed an agreement between semi-automated and human expert scoring comparable to that published for the R&K version with a validity comparable to that of human experts, but with a reliability close to 1, thereby reducing interrater variability as well as scoring time to a minimum.
