• A clinical evaluation of a low-cost strain gauge respiration belt and machine learning to detect sleep apnea 

      Kristiansen, Stein; Nikolaidis, Konstantinos; Plagemann, Thomas Peter; Goebel, Vera Hermine; Traaen, Gunn Marit; Øverland, Britt; Akerøy, Lars; Hunt, Tove Elizabeth Frances; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Bendz, Christina; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Gullestad, Lars; Akre, Harriet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Sleep apnea is a common and severe sleep-related respiratory disorder. Since the symptoms of sleep apnea are often ambiguous, it is difficult for a physician to decide whether to prescribe a clinical diagnosis, i.e., ...
    • Comparing manual and automatic scoring of sleep monitoring data from portable polygraphy 

      Kristiansen, Stein; Traaen, Gunn Marit; Øverland, Britt; Plagemann, Thomas Peter; Gullestad, Lars; Akre, Harriet; Nikolaidis, Konstantinos; Aakerøy, Lars; Hunt, Tove Elizabeth Frances; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Bendz, Christina; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Goebel, Vera Hermine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We used sleep monitoring data from a study that investigated the prevalence, characteristics, risk factors and type of sleep apnea (SA) in 579 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Most patients were screened for ...
    • Effect of continuous positive airway pressure therapy on recurrence of atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: A randomized controlled trial 

      Hunt, Tove Elizabeth Frances; Traaen, Gunn Marit; Aakerøy, Lars; Bendz, Christina; Øverland, Britt; Akre, Harriet; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Hegbom, Finn; Broch, Kaspar; Lie, Øyvind Haugen; Lyseggen, Erik; Haugaa, Kristina Ingrid Helena Hermann; Gullestad, Lars; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces AF recurrence after catheter ablation with pulmonary vein ...
    • My Health Sensor, my Classifier – Adapting a Trained Classifier to Unlabeled End-User Data 

      Nikolaidis, Konstantinos; Kristiansen, Stein; Plagemann, Thomas Peter; Goebel, Vera Hermine; Liestøl, Knut; Kankanhalli, Mohan; Traaen, Gunn Marit; Øverland, Britt; Akre, Harriet; Aakerøy, Lars; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Sleep apnea is a common yet severely under-diagnosed sleep related disorder. Unattended sleep monitoring at home with low-cost sensors can be leveraged for condition detection, and Machine Learning offers a generalized ...
    • Prevalence, risk factors, and type of sleep apnea in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation 

      Traaen, Gunn Marit; Øverland, Britt; Aakerøy, Lars; Hunt, Tove Elizabeth Frances; Bendz, Christina; Leif Magne, Sande; Aakhus, Svend; Zare, Hasse Khiabani; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Gullestad, Lars; Akre, Harriet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background Recent studies have suggested an association between sleep apnea (SA) and atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to study the prevalence, characteristics, risk factors and type of sleep apnea (SA) in ablation ...
    • Treatment of sleep apnea in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: design and rationale of a randomized controlled trial 

      Traaen, Gunn Marit; Aakerøy, Lars; Hunt, Tove Elisabeth F.; Øverland, Britt; Lyseggen, Erik; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, Thor; Helle-Valle, Thomas Michael; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Edvardsen, Thor; Zare, Hasse Khiabani; Aakhus, Svend; Akre, Harriet; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Gullestad, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Rationale. Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased mortality as well as morbidity. There is strong evidence for an association between atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea. It is not known whether treatment of sleep ...
