Article Synopsis
- - U-Sleep, an automated sleep stager, was tested for accuracy against trained human scorers using a dataset of 50 pediatric polysomnograms and a larger clinical dataset of 3114 polysomnograms to see if it can effectively replace human analysis.
- - The study found that U-Sleep's performance was statistically equivalent to human scorers with a kappa statistic of 0.79 compared to 0.78 for humans, indicating it was reliable for sleep staging in children.
- - However, U-Sleep's accuracy decreased in children under 2 years and those with sleep-related health issues, suggesting it can be utilized clinically for pediatric patients, but caution is needed for specific subgroups.
Executive summary: This document is a consensus statement of a subcommittee of experienced sleep physicians and scientists, tasked to review the literature and formulate recommendations on the indications, performance, and reporting of sleep studies, to update clinical practice from the 2017 Australasian Sleep Association (ASA) guidelines for sleep studies in adults (Douglas JA, Chai-Coetzer CL, McEvoy D, et al.
