Objective: The objective of the study was to develop a multiparametric oximetry indicator (IMp-SpO2) to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in adults. Material and method: This was an observational, retrospective study of diagnostic accuracy. We included adults who had had a diagnostic polysomnography with few artifacts and a total sleep time of at least 180 min in the sleep laboratory. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5. The database was randomly divided into an experimental (Exp-G) and validation (Val-G) group. The program calculated several parameters of oxygen saturation variability (Par-VarSpO2): (a) oxygen desaturation index (ODI ≥ 3, 4%) and (b) 90, 95, and 97.5 percentiles of both the number of oxygen desaturations ≥ 3 and 4% (P90–97.5 OD3/4 W5-60) and SpO2 standard deviations in moving windows from 5 to 60 min (P90–P97.5 SDSpO2 W5-10). Area under the ROC curve (AUC-ROC), sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative likelihood ratios, and accuracy were calculated. Results: Of 1141 adults included in the study, experimental (571) and validation group (570) were similar (women 47% vs 45%, BMI 27.5 kg/m2 vs 27.2 kg/m2, and AHI 11.7 vs 12, p NS). The IMp-SpO2 developed in the experimental group consisted of a combination of 10 parameters of oxygen saturation variability. The presence of at least one IMp-SpO2 variable had a high diagnostic performance for OSA (sensitivity/specificity/accuracy: Exp-G: 92.8/94/93.2%; Val-G: 93/95.2/93.7%). The IMp-SpO2 AUC-ROC was higher (Exp-G 0.934, Val-G 0.941) than most of the Par-VarSpO2 (0.898–0.929, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The IMp-SpO2 showed a > 90% accuracy for OSA diagnosis in adults.
