摘要

Study Objectives:

We compared the performance of a comprehensive automated polysomnogram analysis algorithm—CAISR (Complete Artificial Intelligence Sleep Report)—to a multiexpert gold-standard panel, crowdsourced scorers, and experienced technicians for sleep staging and detecting arousals, respiratory events, and limb movements.

Methods:

A benchmark dataset of 57 polysomnogram records (Inter-Scorer Reliability dataset) with 200 30-second epochs scored per American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines was used. Annotations were obtained from (1) the American Academy of Sleep Medicine multiexpert gold-standard panel, (2) American Academy of Sleep Medicine Inter-Scorer Reliability (ISR) platform users (“crowd,” averaging 6,818 raters per epoch), (3) 3 experienced technicians, and (4) CAISR. Agreement was assessed via Cohen’s kappa (κ) and percent agreement.

Results:

Across tasks, CAISR achieved performance comparable to that of experienced technicians but did not match consensus-level agreement between the multiexpert gold standard and the crowd. For sleep staging, CAISR’s agreement with multiexpert gold standard was 82.1% (κ = 0.70), comparable to experienced technicians but below the crowd (κ = 0.88). Arousal detection showed 87.81% agreement (κ = 0.45), respiratory event detection 83.18% agreement (κ = 0.34), and limb movement detection 94.89% agreement (κ = 0.11), each aligning with performance equivalent to experienced technicians but trailing crowd agreement (κ = 0.83, 0.78, and 0.86 for detection of arousal, respiratory events, and limb movements, respectively).

Conclusions:

CAISR achieves experienced technician-level accuracy for polysomnogram scoring tasks but does not surpass the consensus-level agreement of a multiexpert gold standard or the crowd. These findings highlight the potential of automated scoring to match experienced technician-level performance while emphasizing the value of multirater consensus.
