Summary of the Logistic Regression and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Models in the Prediction of OSA

Number of Photographic Variables Number of Clinical Variables Overall Correct Classification ROC AUC
Logistic Regression Model 1 – Calibrated Photographic Measurements 4 - 76.1% 0.82
Logistic Regression Model 2 – Uncalibrated Photographic Measurements 4 - 71.1% 0.80
Logistic Regression Model 3 – Clinical Measurements - 3 (Age, BMI, WA) 76.1% 0.78
Logistic Regression Model 4 – Photographic and Clinical Measurements 3 2 (WA, MMC) 78.3% 0.87
CART Model 1 – Single Photographic Measurement 1 - 64.4% 0.68
CART Model 2 – Multiple Photographic Measurements 4 - 76.7% 0.84

model built using measurements that do not require calibration (e.g., ratios and angular measurements); ROC AUC = receiver operating characteristic, area under the curve; BMI = body mass index; WA = witnessed apneas; MMC = modified Mallampati class
