Extracted SpO2 measures

Name Descriptions
SpO2 ENT Entropy of overnight SpO2 signal
SpO2 STD Standard deviation of overnight SpO2 signal
BAB Area under the overnight average of SpO2 divided by total sleep time in seconds (below average burden)
ODB AVG Average of normalized overnight desaturation burdens* of desaturation episodes
ODB STD Standard deviation of normalized overnight desaturation burdens* of desaturation episodes
ODB ENT Entropy of normalized overnight desaturation burdens* of desaturation episodes
NDB Cumulative overnight desaturation burdens* divided by the total sleep time in seconds (nocturnal desaturation burden)

*Desaturation burden: area under the curve of desaturation episodes with respect to the maximum SpO2 level within 100 s before SpO2 starts rising again
