However, concurrent detection of these conditions remains a critical unmet need in clinical practice. Current home sleep apnea test devices often fail to detect arrhythmias essential for diagnosing OSA-associated AF due to limited electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring capabilities, and their integration with continuous positive airway pressure data for treatment optimization remains underutilized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study introduces SHHDeepNet, an advanced deep learning-based framework designed for the detection of OSA in patients with AF, leveraging enhanced features extracted from single-lead ECG signals. The ECG signals were preprocessed and refined using reconstruction independent component analysis, which isolates statistically independent features for improved data representation. These features were subsequently classified using the customized SHHDeepNet architecture. SHHDeepNet utilizes advanced signal processing and deep learning techniques to enhance ECG-based detection of AF-associated OSA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The framework was validated using overnight ECG recordings from 101 subjects derived from the Sleep Heart Health Study Visit 1 database, encompassing 36 prevalent AF cases, 25 incident AF cases, and 40 OSA cases. Detection performance was evaluated through binary classification (AF AH vs. AF non-AH) and multi-class classification (AF AH, AF non-AH, non-AF AH, and non-AF non-AH). During fivefold cross-validation (fivefold-CV), the framework achieved a binary classification accuracy of 98.22 per cent, sensitivity of 96.8 per cent, specificity of 99 per cent, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9981. For multi-class classification, fivefold-CV yielded 98.36 per cent accuracy, 97.14 per cent sensitivity, 98.77 per cent specificity, and an AUC of 0.9975. Validation using leave-one-subject-out cross-validation achieved a binary classification accuracy of 86.42 per cent, sensitivity of 79.4 per cent, specificity of 90.2 per cent, and an AUC of 0.9372. For multi-class classification under leave-one-subject-out cross-validation, the average accuracy, sensitivity, and F1-score were 86.7 per cent, 72.6 per cent, and 0.7224 per cent, respectively. External validation was performed on a cohort of 123 subjects from the osteoporotic fractures in men database, comprising 68 cases of prevalent AF and 55 cases of OSA. The proposed method achieved a multi-class classification accuracy of 88.51 per cent, sensitivity of 73.50 per cent, specificity of 91.34 per cent, and an AUC of 0.9363.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings underscore the significance of simultaneous detection of AF and OSA, providing a more comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular health. The proposed SHHDeepNet framework offers a promising tool to support clinical decision-making, enhance management strategies, and improve patient outcomes by mitigating the risks associated with these conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/zsaf226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]],"date-time":"2025-08-07T11:47:15Z","timestamp":1754567235000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A novel approach for atrial fibrillation-related obstructive sleep apnea detection using enhanced single-lead electrocardiogram features with customized deep learning algorithm"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Febryan","family":"Setiawan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6586-1053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng-Yu","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]},{"name":"Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]},{"name":"Sleep Medicine Center, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Che-Wei","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]},{"name":"Medical Device Innovation Center, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]},{"name":"Institute of Gerontology, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]},{"name":"Institute of Medical Informatics, College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]},{"name":"Department of Biotechnology and Bioindustry Sciences, College of Bioscience and Biotechnology, National Cheng Kung University , Tainan City ,","place":["Taiwan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026020918530044000_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smrv.2016.07.002","article-title":"Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in the general population: a systematic review","volume":"34","author":"Senaratna","year":"2017","journal-title":"Sleep Med Rev"},{"issue":"21","key":"2026020918530044000_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000041","article-title":"2014 AHA\/ACC\/HRS guideline for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation: a report of the American College of Cardiology\/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines and the Heart Rhythm Society","volume":"64","author":"January","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"key":"2026020918530044000_ref3","author":"Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
