Manual sleep staging (MSS) using polysomnography is a time-consuming task, requires significant training, and can lead to significant variability among scorers. STAGER is a software program based on machine learning algorithms that has been developed by Medibio Limited (Savage, MN, USA) to perform automatic sleep staging using only EEG signals from polysomnography. This study aimed to extensively investigate its agreement with MSS performed during clinical practice and by three additional expert sleep technicians. Forty consecutive polysomnographic recordings of patients referred to three US sleep clinics for sleep evaluation were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Three experienced technicians independently staged the recording using the electroencephalography, electromyography, and electrooculography signals according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines. The staging initially performed during clinical practice was also considered. Several agreement statistics between the automatic sleep staging (ASS) and MSS, among the different MSSs, and their differences were calculated. Bootstrap resampling was used to calculate 95% confidence intervals and the statistical significance of the differences. STAGER's ASS was most comparable with, or statistically significantly better than the MSS, except for a partial reduction in the positive percent agreement in the wake stage. These promising results indicate that STAGER software can perform ASS of inpatient polysomnographic recordings accurately in comparison with MSS. |
