Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Since the main objective is to achieve consistency between DISE (according to VOTE), which does not correspond to natural sleep, and acoustic phenotyping (according to ACLTE) in natural sleep in the same patients over three nights, the target values should be measurable consistency values: 1) Kappa coefficient for classification consistency • Measures the consistency between MISE results (VOTE) and acoustic phenotyping (ACLTE) 1) Kappa coefficient for classification agreement • Measures the agreement between MISE results (VOTE) and acoustic phenotyping (ACLTE) in natural sleep over 3 nights. • Value range: 0 (no agreement) to 1 (perfect agreement). • Separate calculation for vibration types and obstruction types. 2) Percentage agreement (%) between DISE (VOTE) and ACLTE and kappa coefficient • Proportion of patients for whom the classifications agree. • Calculation for overall agreement and depending on body position (side/back position).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints For the secondary endpoints relating to interrater agreement and correlations between snoring and obstruction events: 1) Correlation between snoring types and obstruction types (kappa correlation coefficient) • Analysis of whether certain snoring types according to VOTE are associated with specific obstruction types according to VOTE. • Separate consideration for the total population depending on body position. 2) Night-to-night variability of patients in natural sleep • Analysis of whether certain types of snoring according to VOTE are associated with specific variability. • Separate consideration for the total population depending on body position.
