摘要

Objectives

This study aimed to develop and validate an integrated neuroimaging-based model for identifying severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with severe oxygen desaturation (ODI ≥ 30 events/hour) in young and middle-aged male. A key goal was to characterize the neuroimaging signatures associated with the hypoxic burden of OSA.

Methods

Data from 111 patients were utilized. The initial feature set integrated 50 Gy matter structural indices, seven dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) temporal metrics, and key demographic factors (age, BMI). A Random Forest algorithm was employed for feature selection based on variable importance measures (VIM), followed by Support Vector Machine (SVM) modeling to classify severe OSA patients (ODI ≥ 30 events/hour).

Results

The final model incorporated 28 features (2 demographic, 2 dFC, 24 structural). It achieved an accuracy of 70.91%, recall of 95.07%, precision of 72.25%, F1-score of 81.68%, and an AUC-ROC of 0.798. Feature selection at a VIM > 0.05 threshold (20 features) increased accuracy by 2.7% and achieved optimal recall (97.50%) and AUC (0.813).

Conclusions

This study establishes a neuroimaging-based framework for identifying OSA patients with severe oxygen desaturation (ODI ≥ 30 events/hour), integrating gray matter structural and dynamic functional connectivity features. The features selected by the model overlap with brain regions and networks that support cognitive functions such as memory and attention, suggesting that the model captures neurobiologically meaningful patterns associated with the hypoxic burden of OSA.
