Polysomnography (PSG) recordings provide comprehensive physiological data to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common breathing disorder. OSA severity is usually diagnosed using the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), the frequency of episodes of breathing cessation or reduction. This study proposes a new global measure, the Respiratory Fluctuation Index (RFI), which accurately characterizes the distribution of respiratory drops in a PSG time series without the need for hand-counting episodes. We test two approaches: linear regression models to estimate the hand-scored AHI from one or more RFIs, and threshold detection models to diagnose OSA severity based on a single RFI. Based on PSG data recorded from 60 adults, we find very good agreement between both types of models and the ground truth. Regression models based on the RFI derived from nasal airflow had the best agreement with manually scored AHIs, visualized with Bland-Altman plots. In addition, threshold detection models based on the RFI of nasal airflow achieved the highest sensitivities (78.97%, 87.50% and 92.31%) and specificities (78.26%, 86.46% and 91.82%) in detecting OSA with AHI >= 5, AHI >= 15 and AHI >= 30, respectively. The strong performance of the models demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed RFI metric for OSA assessment. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
