Novel multiclass classification for home-based diagnosis of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel 4-class hierarchical classifier for SAHS diagnosis is proposed.

• Twenty-eight main features extracted only from SpO2 were evaluated over a common dataset.

• A comparison of the most relevant features related to SAHS is provided.

• The proposed scheme can be an option to SAHS screening algorithms.

• The method could be used in a domiciliary approach to the early diagnosis of SAHS.
