Multi-centre arousal scoring agreement in the Sleep Revolution

In conclusion, the scoring agreement varied depending on the arousal type, sleep stage, and scorer pair, but was overall relatively low. The most uncertain areas were related to spontaneous arousals and arousals scored in the wake stage. These results indicate that manual arousal scoring is generally not reliable, and that changes are needed in the assessment of sleep fragmentation for clinical and research purposes.PMID:38148632 | DOI:10.1111/jsr.14127
