Randomized trial predicts clinical diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia versus narcolepsy type 2, indicating limitations in current methods.

The aim is to predict clinical diagnoses of idiopathic hypersomnia and narcolepsy type 2 using machine learning on polysomnography features.
Conducted manual chart review of 454 patients clinically diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia or narcolepsy type 2.
Extracted 45 polysomnography metrics for analysis, employing six machine learning classifiers with hyperparameter optimization.
Used statistical tests to assess significance and feature importance.
Logistic regression classifier achieved an AUC-ROC of 66% and balanced accuracy of 63%.
Using a 60% probability threshold, precision was 49%, sensitivity was 36%, and specificity was 82%.
Poor agreement was observed between machine learning predictions and ICSD-3 diagnoses.

Araujo et al. (2026) studied this question.
