ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a diagnostic tool for detection of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR). This invention also provides a method for development of the diagnostic tool. The method comprises the steps of performing overnight oximetry recordings in patients suspected of sleep disordered breathing. Spectral analysis is performed on the oximetry recordings to obtain a set of parameters which can be used in the construction of a classification tree and a trained neural network. The diagnostic tools of the present invention can be used for classification of a patient as having CSR or obstructive sleep apnea.
