An automatic apnea screening algorithm for children

作者:

Highlights:

• We showed empirically that screening models have low performance on children data.

• We achieved a model for apnea screening in children.

• We discover that no signal alone is a good classifier for sleep apnea in children.

• We discover three signals are the best for screening (none of these reported before).

• Our algorithm uses less information than a polysomnography.
