Recursive Partitioning Analysis of Fractional Low-Frequency Fluctuations in Narcolepsy With Cataplexy.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To identify narcolepsy related regional brain activity alterations compared with matched healthy controls. To determine whether these changes can be used to distinguish narcolepsy from healthy controls by recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Method: Fifty-one narcolepsy with cataplexy patients (26 adults and 25 juveniles) and sixty matched heathy controls (30 adults and 30 juveniles) were recruited. All subjects underwent a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scan. Fractional low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) was used to investigate narcolepsy induced regional brain activity alterations among adult and juveniles, respectively. Recursive partitioning analysis and Receiver operating curve a
