Implication

MEISS may support HRV entropy for preliminary OSA screening; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Does multiscale entropy analysis of heart rate variability correlate with the severity of obstructive sleep apnea?

Population

90 subjects from a single sleep center, including normal snoring without OSA (AHI < 5, n=11), mild OSA (5 ≤ AHI < 15, n=10), moderate OSA (15 ≤ AHI < 30, n=24), and severe OSA (AHI ≥ 30, n=45).

Intervention

Multiscale entropy analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) using small scale (MEISS) and large scale (MEILS) from ECG recordings during non-rapid eye movement sleep at stage N2.

Comparator

Polysomnography (PSG) derived Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI).

Outcome

Correlation between multiscale entropy index (MEISS) and Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), and ability to distinguish OSA severity.surrogate

Multiscale entropy analysis of heart rate variability during sleep may serve as a simple preliminary screening tool for assessing OSA severity.
