Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: respiratory event-related electroencephalography (EEG) activity and autonomic responses) and the risk of cognitive impairment. METHODS: ) from the Canadian Sleep and Circadian Network observational cohort were studied. Brain Response to Event (BReTE) was derived from EEG power (defined as mean (median post-event power/median pre-event power) (frequency range: 0.5-50 Hz)) for each individual. Event-related autonomic responses were measured by heart rate response to events (ΔHR: the difference between maximum post-event heart rate and minimum heart rate during event) and photoplethysmography (PPG)-derived vasoconstriction activity (event-related area and depth of PPG decline). Cognitive performance was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Wechsler Digit Symbol Coding (DSC) and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test-Delayed Recall (RAVLT-DR). Multiple logistic regression examined the independent associations between biomarkers and outcomes. RESULTS: We studied 537 individuals (42% female) with a median age of 55 years. In fully adjusted models, each 1sd decrease in BReTE was associated with higher odds of poor cognitive performance indicated by MoCA <26 (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.13-1.79; p=0.003), DSC <25th percentile (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.02-1.84; p=0.04) and RAVLT-DR <25th percentile (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.13-2.02; p=0.007). Additionally, those with low ΔHR compared to the mid-range group were at increased risk of poor cognitive performance. Vasoconstriction indices were not associated with cognitive performance. CONCLUSION: Blunted EEG and heart rate responses to respiratory events are linked to poorer cognitive performance in OSA, highlighting the value of EEG in identifying individuals at risk for cognitive impairment.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
