OSASUD: A dataset of stroke unit recordings for the detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Polysomnography (PSG) is a fundamental diagnostical method for the detection of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). Historically, trained physicians have been manually identifying OSAS episodes in individuals based on PSG recordings. Such a task is highly important for stroke patients, since in such cases OSAS is linked to higher mortality and worse neurological deficits. Unfortunately, the number of strokes per day vastly outnumbers the availability of polysomnographs and dedicated healthcare professionals. The data in this work pertains to 30 patients that were admitted to the stroke unit of the Udine University Hospital, Italy. Unlike previous studies, exclusion criteria are minimal. As a result, data are strongly affected by noise, and individuals may suffer from several comorbidi
