Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard in diagnosing sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Diagnostic analysis of SDB is time-consuming and labor-intensive and entails long waiting lists for patients. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a flow-based screening classifier as an automated diagnostic test for Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR).
