Hi,
I see that some of the databases (such as SHHS, CFS, Numom, and MESA) have been re-annotated. For example, the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) has been computed according to the 2012 guidelines.
Is there some reference to a publication related to these re-annotations, that I could cite? At least, is there a way to know which institute performed the re-annotation?
Thanks in advance, Jeremy

Dear all,
I am working on the distinction between Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
After going over a few datasets (SHHS, MESA, CFS), I see that for the AHI, hypopnea and apneas (whether obstructive or central) are taken into account.
My question is the following: how should I compute the AHIc? I see that in some cases it takes into account hypopneas and central apneas. But not all hypopneas are central, there might be obstructive hypopneas as well, no? In this case, it is not clear to me how CSA is diagnosed from the PSG raw data.
