New causal modeling reveals sleep disorder dynamics across demographics

Researchers have developed a new method for modeling the complex causal dynamics of sleep-disordered breathing. Using the PCMCI+ algorithm on data from 105 Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) recordings, they learned dynamic causal graphs that reveal differences in sleep disorder structures across various sex and age groups. The findings indicate that temporal self-dependencies and the relationship between apnea and oxygen desaturation are consistent across cohorts, while other causal links show significant variation.

    Dynamic Structural Causal Modeling for Sleep

    arXiv:2608.20285v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The causal dynamics of sleep-disordered breathing are complex and vary across patient populations, hindering the development of targeted interventions. We learn dynamic causal graphs of sleep-disordered breathing from Home Sleep Apn…
