Abstract
Knowledge regarding the site of airway collapse could help in choosing an appropriate structure-specific or individualized treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). We investigated if the audio signal recorded during hypopnoea (partial obstruction) events can predict the site-of-collapse of the upper airway. In this study, we designed an automatic classifier that predicts the predominant site of upper airway collapse for a patient as "lateral wall", "palate", "tongue-based" related collapse or "multi-level" site-of-collapse by processing of the audio signal. The probable site-of-collapse was determined by manual analysis of the shape of the airflow signal during hypopnoea, which has been reported to correlate with the site of collapse. Audio signal was recorded simultaneously with full-night polysomnography during sleep with a ceiling microphone. Various time and frequency features of the audio signal were extracted to classify the audio signal into lateral wall, palate a nd tongue-base related collapse. We introduced an unbiased process using nested leave-one patient-out cross-validation to choose the optimal features. The classification was carried out with a multi-class linear discriminant analysis classifier. Performance of the proposed model showed that our automatic system can achieve an overall accuracy of 65% for determining the predominant site-of-collapse for all site-of-collapse classes and an accuracy of 80% for classifying tongue/non-tongue related collapse. Our results indicate that the audio signal recorded during sleep can be helpful in identifying the site-of-collapse and therefore could potentially be used as a new tool for deciding appropriate treatment for OSA.
