Pediatric Polysomnography

描述(由申请人提供)： 建议开发一个软件系统，用于收集、监测、分析、报告和存档婴儿和儿童的多导睡眠监测数据。该项目将从睡眠诊所收集儿科多导睡眠图数据；它将包括设计一种工具，用于测量EEG、EOG、EMG和呼吸数据中波形中每个波的幅度和持续时间。该工具将包括一个图形用户界面，以便于输入和输出波形标准和测量结果。该工具将用于确定用于儿科多导睡眠图数据自动分析的波形标准。儿童受试者的睡眠参数与成人人群的睡眠参数有显著差异。一个单独的睡眠状态分类系统用于一岁以下的患者。拟议的工作将包括开发一个系统，对这些非常年轻的受试者的睡眠情况进行分类和报告。在第二阶段研究期间，将设计一个数据库管理系统。第二阶段的研究还将进行多个实验室的验证和确认研究。很大一部分儿科人口患有睡眠呼吸紊乱；据估计，超过2%的儿科人口患有睡眠呼吸紊乱。因此，该项目极有可能取得商业成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is proposed to develop a software system for collecting, monitoring, analyzing, reporting, and archiving polysomnography data of infants and children. The project will collect pediatric polysomnography data from sleep clinics; it will include the design of a tool for measuring the amplitude and duration of each wave in a waveform in EEG, EOG, EMG and respiratory data. The tool will include a graphical user interface to facilitate the input and output of waveform criteria and measurement results. The tool will be used to determine waveform criteria to be used for the automated analysis of pediatric polysomnography data. The sleep parameters of pediatric subjects differ significantly from those of the adult population. A separate sleep state classification system is used for patients less than one year of age. The proposed work will include the development of a system for categorizing and reporting on the sleep of these very young subjects. A database management system will be designed during the Phase II research. A multi-laboratory verification and validation study will also be conducted in the Phase II research. A significant portion of the pediatric population has sleep disordered breathing; it has been estimated as in excess of 2% of the pediatric population has sleep disordered breathing. Thus, the project has a strong likelihood of leading to a commercial success.
