ABSTRACT
Study Objectives. To present and evaluate an automatic scoring algorithm for quantification of REM-sleep without atonia (RWA) in patients with REM-sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) based on a generally accepted, well-validated visual scoring method, ("Montreal" phasic and tonic) and a recently developed, concise scoring method (Ikelos-RWA). Methods. Video-polysomnographies of 20 RBD patients (68.2 ± 7.2 years) and 20 control patients with periodic limb movement disorder (65.9 ± 6.7 years) were retrospectively analysed. RWA was estimated from chin electromyogram during REM-sleep. Visual and automated RWA scorings were correlated, and agreement (a) and Cohen's Kappa (k) calculated for 1735â
minutes of REM-sleep of the RBD patients. Discrimination performance was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The algorithm was then applied on the polysomnographies of a cohort of 232 RBD patients (total analysed REM-sleep 17,219â
minutes) and evaluated, while correlating the different output parameters. Results. Visual and computer-derived RWA scorings correlated significantly (tonic Montreal rTM = 0.77; phasic Montreal rPM = 0.78; Ikelos-RWA rI = 0.97; all p < 0.001) and showed good to excellent Kappa coefficients (kTM = 0.71; kPM = 0.79; kI = 0.77). The ROC analysis showed high sensitivities (95%-100%) and specificities (84%-95%) at the optimal operation points, with area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98, indicating high discriminating capacity. The automatic RWA scorings of 232 patients correlated significantly (rTM{I} = 0.95; rPM{I} = 0.91, p < 0.0001). Conclusions. The presented algorithm is an easy-to-use and valid tool for automatic RWA scoring in patients with RBD and may prove effective for general use being publicly available.
