Prospective sleep staging κ 0.845 ± 0.066 against expert consensus (inter-expert κ 0.850 ± 0.102). Three-class narcolepsy 84.2% accuracy (κ 0.761); cross-institution hypersomnia normal-vs-abnormal AUC 0.879; severe OSA AUC 0.874 without respiratory channels; depression symptoms AUC 0.801 on surrogate-labelled APPLES and 0.965 on an external clinically diagnosed cohort.

Original description

Figure 1: Overview of the LPSGM framework. Panel (a): Data harmonization schematizes the aggregation of PSG data from 16 public datasets (220,500 hours), the public MNC dataset and 2 independent clinical cohorts, spanning diverse geographic populations and recording protocols. Panel (b): Cross-center generalization outlines the training-evaluation pipeline: LPSGM is pre-trained on multi-center public datasets, validated for cross-domain sleep staging on two unseen private datasets, and fine-tuned for downstream screening tasks covering narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and depression. Panel (c): Analytical validation details the study's three-pronged evaluation: (1) a prospective clinical trial benchmarking LPSGM against expert consensus, (2) interpretability analysis to decode decision-making patterns, and (3) ablation studies quantifying the contribution of key components.
