Abstract
GOAL AND AIMS Our objective was to evaluate the performance of Belun Ring with second-generation deep learning algorithms in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) detection, OSA severity categorization, and sleep stage classification. FOCUS TECHNOLOGY Belun Ring with second-generation deep learning algorithms REFERENCE TECHNOLOGY: In-lab polysomnography (PSG) SAMPLE: Eighty-four subjects (M: F = 1:1) referred for an overnight sleep study were eligible. Of these, 26% had PSG-AHI<5; 24% had PSG-AHI 5-15; 23% had PSG-AHI 15-30; 27% had PSG-AHI ≥ 30. DESIGN Rigorous performance evaluation by comparing Belun Ring to concurrent in-lab PSG using the 4% rule. CORE ANALYTICS Pearson's correlation coefficient, Student's paired t-test, diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, Cohen's kappa coefficient (kappa), Bland-Altman plots with bias and limits of agreement, receiver operating characteristics curves with area under the curve, and confusion matrix. CORE OUTCOMES The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and kappa in categorizing AHI ≥ 5 were 0.85, 0.92, 0.64, and 0.58, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Kappa in categorizing AHI ≥ 15 were 0.89, 0.91, 0.88, and 0.79, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Kappa in categorizing AHI ≥ 30 were 0.91, 0.83, 0.93, and 0.76, respectively. BSP2 also achieved an accuracy of 0.88 in detecting wake, 0.82 in detecting NREM, and 0.90 in detecting REM sleep. CORE CONCLUSION Belun Ring with second-generation algorithms detected OSA with good accuracy and demonstrated a moderate-to-substantial agreement in categorizing OSA severity and classifying sleep stages.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess sleep patterns during the three trimesters of pregnancy and whether vitamin D concentrations, along with other risk factors, are associated with these alterations. In a longitudinal study, 140 pregnant women (age 18 to 39 years) were followed throughout their first, second, and third trimesters. Sleep was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at each trimester, along with an assessment of biochemical parameters, including serum vitamin D levels. The information that was collected included anthropometric data, socio-economic status, dietary intake, and physical activity. The PSQI was higher in mid and late pregnancy than in early pregnancy (both p = 0.001), and the sleep duration was also higher in late versus early pregnancy. Linear regression analyses revealed independent predictors of deteriorating sleep quality from early to late pregnancy, including low income (B ± SE −0.60 ± 0.26, p = 0.03) and low serum vitamin D levels in the second trimester (B ± SE −0.20 ± 0.01, p = 0.04). Energy intake and sitting in the second half of pregnancy were positively associated with changes in the PSQI score from the second to third trimesters (B ± SE 0.15 ± 0.07, p = 0.048) and (B ± SE 0.01 ± 0.00, p = 0.044), respectively. Low socio-economic status, low serum vitamin D levels, greater energy intake, and sitting time were associated with worsening patterns of sleep quality from early to late pregnancy.
