This study evaluates differential photoplethysmography signal patterns that can distinguish between apneas vs hypopneas, which are key features of sleep-related breathing disorders.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n                    We analyzed data from 263 severe (apnea hypopnea index \u2a7e30) obstructive sleep apnea patients, using recordings from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Over 57 000 respiratory events occurring during stage N2 sleep were included. A machine learning model was trained on 89 features derived from the photoplethysmography signal, using the pyPPG toolbox, to classify: apneas vs hypopneas in the supine and lateral sleep posture, and posture-specific differences for each respiratory event type.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Results showed that photoplethysmography signal characteristics significantly differed between apneas vs hypopneas. The model achieved an area under the receiver operation characteristic curve of 0.80 in the lateral posture and 0.83 in the supine posture. However, classification performance was low when distinguishing between apneas and hypopneas in the lateral vs the supine position with an area under the receiver operation characteristic curve of 0.62 for apneas and 0.64 for hypopneas. The discriminative signal features were consistent across different periods of the night.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic>\n                    These findings indicate that photoplethysmography can detect meaningful differences in sleep-related breathing events and support its potential as a foundation for wearable diagnostic and monitoring tools that are personalized, accessible, and cost-effective.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6579\/ae3ef0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]],"date-time":"2026-01-28T22:55:06Z","timestamp":1769640906000},"page":"025006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Analysis of differential photoplethysmography signal patterns in apnea and hypopnea"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0120-5940","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M\u00e1rton \u00c1ron","family":"Goda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7556-5343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arie","family":"Oksenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4986-4753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Azarbarzin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5956-7034","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Joachim A","family":"Behar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmeaae3ef0bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/26524","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Noncontact sleep monitoring with infrared video data to estimate sleep apnea severity and distinguish between positional and nonpositional sleep apnea: model development and experimental validation","volume":"23","author":"Akbarian","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
