    Abstract

    ![CDATA[To address the difficult and necessity of early detection of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome in infants, we present a study into the effectiveness of pulse oximetry as a minimally invasive means of automated diagnosis of sleep apnea in infants. Overnight polysomnogram data from 328 infants were used to extract time-domain based oximetry features and scored arousal data for each subject. These records were then used to determine apnea events and to train a classifier model based on linear discriminants. Performance of the classifier was evaluated using a leave-one-out cross-validation scheme and an accuracy of 68% was achieved, with a specificity of 68.6% and a sensitivity of 55.9%.]]
