Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to statistically analyze the behavior of time-frequency features in digital recordings of wheeze sounds obtained from patients with various levels of asthma severity (mild, moderate, and severe), and this analysis was based on the auscultation location and/or breath phase. Method: Segmented and validated wheeze sounds were collected from the trachea and lower lung base (LLB) of 55 asthmatic patients during tidal breathing maneuvers and grouped into nine different datasets. The quartile frequencies F25, F50, F75, F90 and F99, mean frequency (MF) and average power (AP) were computed as features, and a univariate statistical analysis was then performed to analyze the behavior of the time-frequency features. Results: All features generally showed statistical significance in most of the datasets for all severity levels [χ2 = 6.021-71.65, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.01-0.52]. Of the seven investigated features, only AP showed statistical significance in all the datasets. F25, F75, F90 and F99 exhibited statistical significance in at least six datasets [χ2 = 4.852-65.63, p < 0.05, η2 = 0.01-0.52], and F25, F50 and MF showed statistical significance with a large η2 in all trachea-related datasets [χ2 = 13.54-55.32, p <...Continue Reading
