  • Part (a) of the table shows the sensitivity and specificity not considering hypopnoeas as events (ie, all hypopnoeas are considered breathing). Based on this all FCs (apnoeas wrongly classified as hypopnoeas) are considered FNs; and all FPs hypopnoeas are considered TNs. Part (b) shows the sensitivity and specificity considering apnoea and hypopnoea as indistinctive events. Based on this all FC are reclassified as TPs; and all FP hypopnoeas are FPs. Part (c) details the number of epochs corresponding to a particular classification.

  • FC, false classification; FN, false negative; FP, false positive; TN, true negative (breathing); TP, true positive (apnoea); WADD, wearable apnoea detection device.
