For each analysis, the overall Cohen’s κ was the outcome variable and age, sex (categorical), PLMS index, AHI, and BMI the predictors. Z-score transformations were applied to both outcome variable and predictors (except sex). For each model, the overall P value is reported, as well as the slope estimate (b) and the P value of each predictor. Statistical significance was set at the value of .05. INN vs BER: comparison of manual hypnograms scored in Innsbruck and Berlin; INN vs AUTO: comparison of manual hypnograms scored in Innsbruck to the automatic ones; BER vs AUTO: comparison of manual hypnograms scored in Berlin to the automatic ones; CONS vs AUTO: comparison of the epochs where manual scorers from Innsbruck and Berlin were in consensus to the respective epochs automatically scored; MAN vs AUTO: comparison of both manual hypnograms to the automatic one (in case of disagreement between manual scorers, an epoch was equally weighted between the 2 manually scored stages). AHI = apnea-hypopnea index, AUTO = automatic algorithm, BER = Berlin, BMI = body mass index, CONS = consensus, INN = Innsbruck. MAN = manual, PLMS = periodic limb movement during sleep. *Cubic transformation was applied to Cohen’s κ in the highlighted comparisons to meet the normality assumption of the model residuals.
