Abstract
What is the central question of this study?
Can overnight oximetry be used to predict acute mountain sickness during ascent to high altitude?
What is the main finding and its importance?
Classification models applied to overnight pulse oximetry biomarkers can be used to predict acute mountain sickness prospectively and prior to the onset of clinical presentation, as shown in this pilot study. Predictions of acute mountain sickness using such classification models applied to overnight pulse oximetry might be optimised based on location/altitude of overnight recording and feature selection.
