A Review of Novel Oximetry Parameters for the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleep disorder with repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep, which leads to intermittent hypoxic events overnight, adverse neurocognitive, metabolic complications, and ultimately an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Sumario:Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleep disorder with repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep, which leads to intermittent hypoxic events overnight, adverse neurocognitive, metabolic complications, and ultimately an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The standard diagnostic parameter for OSA, apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI), is inadequate to predict CVD morbidity and mortality, because it focuses only on the frequency of apnoea and hypopnoea events, and fails to reveal other physiological information for the prediction of CVD events. Novel parameters have been introduced to compensate for the deficiencies of AHI. However, the calculation methods and criteria for these parameters are unclear, hindering their use in cross-study analysis and studies. This review aims to discuss novel parameters for predicting CVD events from oximetry signals and to summarise the corresponding computational methods.
