Technical details (signal processing chain, classification logic, all twelve bias corrections): Technical Reference (Online Supplement)

What this library does

psgscoring detects and classifies respiratory events (apneas, hypopneas, RERAs) in polysomnography recordings following AASM rules. It extends YASA (Vallat & Walker, eLife 2021) from sleep staging into a complete clinical respiratory scoring pipeline.

Three contributions that distinguish this library:

  1. Twelve bias corrections — the first systematic identification and empirical quantification of six over-counting and six under-counting mechanisms in automated respiratory scoring
  2. AHI confidence interval — every study is scored at three stringency levels (strict/standard/sensitive), yielding a per-study robustness grade (A/B/C) rather than a single AHI number
  3. Clinical auditability — every event carries a confidence score, classification rule index, and per-correction counters, enabling the reviewing physician to verify individual scoring decisions

Installation

pip install psgscoring

Requirements: Python ≥3.9, numpy, scipy, mne. No GPU required.

Quick Start

import mne
from psgscoring import run_pneumo_analysis

# Load EDF and provide a hypnogram (e.g., from YASA)
raw = mne.io.read_raw_edf("recording.edf", preload=True)
hypnogram = ["W", "N1", "N2", "N2", "N3", ...]  # per 30-s epoch

# Run the full pipeline
results = run_pneumo_analysis(raw, hypnogram, scoring_profile="aasm_v3_rec")

# Access results
resp = results["respiratory"]["summary"]
print(f"AHI: {resp['ahi_total']}, Severity: {resp['severity']}")
print(f"Events: {resp['n_obstructive']} OA, {resp['n_hypopnea']} Hyp")

# AHI confidence interval
interval = results["ahi_interval"]
print(f"AHI interval: [{interval['strict']['ahi']}–{interval['sensitive']['ahi']}]")
print(f"Robustness: {interval['robustness_grade']}")

Scoring Profiles

Parameter Strict Standard Sensitive
Hypopnea threshold ≥30% ≥30% ≥25%
SpO₂ nadir window 30 s 45 s 45 s
Peak-based detection No Yes Yes

Validation

PSG-IPA (PhysioNet): 5 recordings, 59 independent scorer sessions. Mean |ΔAHI| = 1.8/h, Pearson r = 0.997, severity concordance 4/5 (standard profile). See the paper for full results.

MESA (NSRR, external cohort): q=7 high-quality holdout, n=92 (held out from the optional LightGBM re-classifier's training). LightGBM-augmented AHI: bias −0.02/h, MAE 5.3/h, Pearson r = 0.87 against the NSRR nsrr_ahi_hp3u reference. SHHS-1 validation in progress.

Twelve Bias Corrections

# Correction Direction Clinical impact
1 Post-apnea baseline inflation Over-counting Prevents false Mild→Moderate
2 SpO₂ cross-contamination Over-counting Flags uncertain coupling
3 Cheyne-Stokes trough scoring Over-counting Prevents HF misdiagnosis as OSA
4 Low-confidence defaults Over-counting Confidence stratification
5 Artefact-flank exclusion Over-counting Prevents post-disconnect events
6 Local baseline validation Over-counting Rejects inflated-baseline FPs
7 Peak-based amplitude detection Under-counting AASM-conformant breath-level
8 Extended SpO₂ nadir window Under-counting Catches delayed desaturations
9 Flow smoothing removal Under-counting Eliminated +54 FPs on PSG-IPA
10 Position signal auto-mapping Under-counting Handles raw ADC encoding
11 Configurable profiles Under-counting Sensitivity adjustment per study
12 Flattening-based RERA Under-counting Flow limitation without amplitude drop
