“…Conventional oximetry indices such as the oxygen desaturation index over 2% (ODI2), 3% (ODI3), and 4% (ODI4), and the cumulative time spent below 90% of saturation (CT90) represent a first approach for automated analysis of SaO 2 signals [14,22,26,34]. A more advanced interpretation of oximetry data can be obtained by using signal processing techniques [1,7,16,39]. According to this approach, several diagnostic algorithms have been developed by using pattern classification methods [23][24][25].…”
