Irregularity and Variability Analysis of Airflow Recordings to Facilitate the Diagnosis of Paediatric Sleep Apnoea-Hypopnoea Syndrome

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the evolution of irregularity and variability of airflow (AF) signals as sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) severity increases in children. We analyzed 501 AF recordings from children 6.2 ± 3.4 years old. The respiratory rate variability (RRV) signal, which i...
