STUDY OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to develop and validate an algorithm for editing WatchPAT scoring and assess the accuracy in an unselected clinical population as well as age and sex substrata. METHODS: Two hundred sixty-two participants were enrolled to undergo WatchPAT simultaneously with in-lab polysomnography (PSG) recordings for developing (n = 30), optimizing (n = 62), and validating (n = 170) an algorithm to review and edit respiratory events and sleep architecture of WatchPAT recordings, which was based on visual inspection of WatchPAT signals. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and sleep indices were compared with PSG-derived and automated WatchPAT indices. RESULTS: Although estimation of total sleep time (TST) was comparable between automated and manual algorithm, estimation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time was markedly improved with manual editing from 0.48, 23.0 min (-43.9 to 89.8) to 0.64, 18.3 min (-32.6 to 69.1) (correlation with PSG, mean difference [reference range] from PSG, respectively). Manual scoring also improved correlation and agreement with PSG AHI from 0.65, 2.5 events/h (-24.0 to 28.9) to 0.81, -4.5 events/h (-22.5 to 13.6) as well as concordance for categorical agreement of sleep-disordered breathing severity and concordance for detecting severe REM-related sleep-disordered breathing. Interscorer reliabilities were excellent for TST and AHI, while good for REM sleep time. The automated algorithm performed better in younger than in older patients, while performed similarly between men and women with respect to concordance statistics. The manual algorithm markedly improved concordances more in older patients and women than in their counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: Our manual editing algorithm improves correlation and agreement with PSG-derived sleep and breathing indices. Sex and age influence the accuracy of automated analysis and the performance of manual editing on AHI concordance.
