The SHHS Polysomnography PhysioRepository is a novel resource that facilitates
data sharing and collaborations with the Sleep Heart Health Study’s large
database of research polysomnograms. The PhysioRepository offers not only
access to PSG signal data, but provides a powerful querying tool linked to
clinical and epidemiological data for easy and meaningful selection of studies
that meet specified criteria. More ...

Available Data
Currently PSG signal data are available in EDF format, with
an additional XML file containing scoring annotations.
Several edf viewers are available for download.
NOTE: As of May, 2007, it was discovered that the XML annotation files for
data from the Sleep Heart Health Study contain incomplete listings of
desaturation events. We are working to correct this problem and will
distribute corrected data files to users who have previously downloaded
these annotation files.
In addition to signal data, we have a database of
summary outcome and covariate variables that may also be
available for download. See Understanding PSG
Data for more information about summary variables. See the
full Data Dictionary
for details on all variables.
Downloading Overview
Log in or register. (Users can log in as a guest without registering to query the database, but will not be able to process or download requests.)
Step 1 - Select a data source.
Choose to download studies from one or more currently
available Collaborative Research study databases.
Step 2 - Limit database to records
that meet your criteria. Users can query the database
based on a number of outcome and covariate variables. Receive immediate
feedback as to how many studies in the specified database meet those criteria.
Step 3 - Select a format in which to receive data. Currently study data
are available in edf format, with scoring annotations in xml, and users can also
choose to receive an ascii dataset of summary data.
Step 4 - If a dataset is selected in Step 4, select outcome
or covariate variables to be included in the dataset.
Step 5 - Review specifics of query. Make any changes as necessary.
Step 6 - Agree to data distribution
documentation as determined by data source.
Submit request. User will receive a confirmation email. Data are made available
