Abstract
Background and Objective. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affects an estimated 936 million people worldwide, yet only 15% receive a definitive diagnosis. Diagnosis of OSA poses challenges due to the dynamic nature of physiological signals such as oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate variability (HRV). Linear analysis methods may not fully capture the irregularities present in these signals. The application of entropy of routine physiological signals offers a promising method to better measure variabilities in dynamic biological data. This review aims to explore entropy changes in physiological signals among individuals with OSA. Approach. Keyword and title searches were performed on Medline, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL databases. Studies had to analyse physiological signals in OSA using entropy. Quality assessment used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Evidence was qualitatively synthesised, considering entropy signals, entropy type, and time-series length. Main results. Twenty-two studies were included. Multiple physiological signals related to OSA, including SpO2, HRV, and the oxygen desaturation index (ODI), have been investigated using entropy. Results revealed a significant decrease in HRV entropy in those with OSA compared to control groups. Conversely, SpO2 and ODI entropy values were increased in OSA. Despite variations in entropy types, time scales, and data extraction devices, studies using receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrated a high discriminative accuracy (>80% AUC) in distinguishing OSA patients from control groups. Significance. This review highlights the potential of SpO2 entropy analysis in developing new diagnostic indices for patients with OSA. Further investigation is needed before applying this technique clinically.
