Clinical Parameters

Table 1
Esprit Nova generated clinical parameter relative error distribution summary (percent of parameter values normalized to TST in % and within 10% error) e.g. 98% of studies have a Total W error less than 10% of SPT (Sleep Period Time).
Table 2
Scorer 1 generated clinical parameter relative error distribution summary (percent of parameter values normalized to TST in % and within 10% error) e.g. 91% of studies have a Total W error less than 10% of SPT (Sleep Period Time).
Table 3
Scorer 2 generated clinical parameter relative error distribution summary (percent of parameter values normalized to TST in % and within 10% error) e.g. 88% of studies have a Total W error less than 10% of SPT (Sleep Period Time).
Table 4
Scorer 3 generated clinical parameter relative error distribution summary (percent of parameter values normalized to TST in % and within 10% error) e.g. 93% of studies have a Total W error less than 10% of SPT (Sleep Period Time).

EN-Sc1 29-7-1-4 = 41
EN-Sc2 29-9-2-4 = 44
EN-Sc3 27-6-1-3 = 37
Sc1-Sc2 26-8-2-4 = 40

Sc2-Sc3 27-8-2-3 = 40
The (EN)-Scorer agreement for the classification of the severity of apnea, including detecting severe apnea is comparable to scorers, with best agreement between pairs being achieved by EN-Sc2(44) and EN-Sc1(41).

The agreement EN with two different scorers is higher than between any two of the scorers.

The most challenging aspect of OSA detection is the detection of very mild apnea.

The classification using EN is equivalent with the one from human scorers (29-29-27) ~ (26-30-27)

The highest agreement in classification in severity classes is En-Sc1, En-Sc3. This result is illustrated in the graph, where the subject device (blue) scores in between the values scored by other scorers.

EN achieves better classification than the scorers when compared to the other scorers.
