Sleep scoring based on video-electroencephalography monitoring in an Epileptology Unit: Comparison with polysomnography.
2021
The aim of the study was to compare the performance of video- electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring and standard polysomnography for sleep scoring in an Epileptology Unit. We calculated the level of agreement between two methods of sleep scoring, using either 27-electrode video-EEG or polysomnography for 1 night in 22 patients admitted to our Epileptology Unit. Independent experts manually scored sleep using the American Academy of Sleep Medicine 2017 guidelines. We evaluated the number of sleep cycles and their distribution on hypnogram, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep and rapid eye movement sleep-onset latency, wake after sleep-onset, and sleep stages. We then extracted sub-samples of recordings to examine the agreement in microarousal and rapid eye movement scoring. We used Bland and Altman plots and Cohen's kappa test to measure agreement. Bland and Altman plots showed at least 95% agreement for all studied sleep parameters with the exception of wake after sleep onset, where there was an 11 min difference. Cohen's kappa test showed an agreement for the recognition of microarousal (0.89) and of rapid eye movements (0.96) in sub-samples. Video-EEG represents an acceptable alternative tool for sleep architecture study in patients admitted to an Epileptology Unit.
