Challenges in sleep apnea assessment have led to the proposal of alternative metrics derived from oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), such as oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and percentage of cumulative sleep time spent with SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> below 90% (CT90), as predictors of postoperative respiratory depression. However, their performance has been limited with area under the curve of 0.60 for ODI and 0.59 for CT90. Our objective was to propose novel features from preoperative overnight SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> which are correlated with sleep apnea severity and predictive of postoperative respiratory depression.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Preoperative SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> signals from 235 surgical patients were retrospectively analyzed to derive seven features to characterize the sleep apnea severity. The features included entropy and standard deviation of SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> signal; below average burden characterizing the area under the average SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>; average, standard deviation, and entropy of desaturation burdens; and overall nocturnal desaturation burden. The association between the extracted features and sleep apnea severity was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the predictive performance of the features in identifying postoperative respiratory depression.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our findings indicated a similar performance of the proposed features to the conventional apnea\u2013hypopnea index (AHI) for assessing sleep apnea severity, with average area under the curve ranging from 0.77 to 0.81. Notably, entropy and standard deviation of overnight SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> signal and below average burden showed comparable predictive capability to AHI but with minimal computational requirements and individuals\u2019 burden, making them promising for screening purposes. Our sex-based analysis revealed that compared to entropy and standard deviation, below average burden exhibited higher sensitivity in detecting respiratory depression in women than men.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study underscores the potential of preoperative SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> features as alternative metrics to AHI in predicting postoperative respiratory.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12938-024-01254-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]],"date-time":"2024-07-08T09:11:42Z","timestamp":1720429902000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Measures of overnight oxygen saturation to characterize sleep apnea severity and predict postoperative respiratory depression"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Atousa","family":"Assadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frances","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Azadeh","family":"Yadollahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"1254_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-024086","author":"K Gupta","year":"2018","unstructured":"Gupta K, et al.
