  1. NPSG Data Exchange Where We Are Today and What We Need Philadelphia January 27, 2006 David M. Rapoport, MD NYU School of Medicine

  2. What is an Electronic NPSG? Raw Data Events (“scoring”) Patient Information and ID Associated Data (video, tech notes, etc) Representations of Data (Windows) Data are usually collected to, and displayed from, a proprietary file format.

  3. Benefits of Standardized Electronic NPSG File Format Multicenter Studies Centralized reading from multiple acquisition formats Data Dissemination Sharing of scored data and completed data sets (eg SHHS) Additional processing of previously collected data Remote Access, eg via internet Dependent on transmission and compression. Archiving Old records/migration of data to new systems or new analyses

  4. Display Score/Process Report Record NPSG in Proprietary Format Convert to Standard Format Data Storage Display Data Transmission Score/Process Report Convert to Alternate Proprietary Format

  5. Why Can’t We Do This Now? Most systems use proprietary data format for raw and scored data Standards for data exchange exist (eg EDF), but…. Often used as “intermediate” data format for RAW DATA ONLY Rules for using the “standard” are frequently incompletely implemented Standards for event and scored data incompletely or not defined New solution for each new problem or advance in the field (lack of extensibility)

  6. Examples of Issues in Implementing EDF Dates 02-05-05 February 5, 2005 or May 2, 2005? Sampling frequency – non integer causes “clock drift” if rounded Calibration information often lost Integer “wraparound” – maximum values that can be stored are -32,768 to +32767

  7. Loss of calibration 255 0

  8. Example of Wrap-around

  9. Standardization Targets Standardized file format for data Standardization of what a program utilizing the “standard” data can/must do Read data Write file or data Display data (including processed data) Manipulate data

  10. Components of an Electronic NPSG Raw Data Time series of data points Information about what data is, sampling freq, calibration, display, etc Conventions on storage Parallel or multiplexed data points for multiple channels Data compression Data integrity (watermarking) Examples: EDF, SDF, ASCII, proprietary binary formats

  11. Components of an Electronic NPSG Events (eg apneas, sleep stages) Several Categories No fixed set of events Linkages between events Examples: EDF plus, ASCII, proprietary binary formats

  12. Event “Categories” in Electronic NPSG Discrete Events (eg scoring that occurs intermittently or not at all) Examples include apnea, hypopnea, arousal Continuous Descriptors (eg – scoring that always has a value) Changes occuring at Fixed Intervals (eg R&K epochs of sleep staging) Changes occuring at Variable intervals (eg position) Linkages between events – can either change an event or only qualify it Examples include different definitions of hypopnea (with arousal or desat)

  13. Development of a New NPSG Standard Format Perspectives and Input needed Research Clinical Practice NIH (Regulatory) Industry Procedures to disseminate/implement a “standard”
