A Predictive Morphometric Model for the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
A predictive morphometric model is presented that has a high sensitivity, high specificity, and good intermeasurer and test-retest reliability that will enable clinicians to detect the possibility of OSAS during initial office visits and then decide which patients are at high risk (and urgently need polysomnography) and which are at low risk ( and do not need polynography).Abstract:
Background: Mathematical formulas have been used to clinically predict whether patients will develop the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, these models do not take into account the ...read more

A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: the Epworth sleepiness scale.
TL;DR: The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), is described, which is a simple, self-administered questionnaire which is shown to provide a measurement of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.

Estimating the Error Rate of a Prediction Rule: Improvement on Cross-Validation
TL;DR: In this paper, a prediction rule is constructed on the basis of some data, and then the error rate of this rule is estimated in classifying future observations using cross-validation.
