Objective of Presentation
• Introduce analytical methods for the special case where biomedical data are collected during a session which contains:– repeated observations over time – numerous, frequently sampled data points– measures collected over a relatively short
interval of time (several hours or days) within one session
– commonly, more measures per session per subject, than subjects overall

Intensively Sampled Data
• Data collected during a physiology, monitoring or pharmacologic study over several hours or days with measurement every 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or as a continuous function
• Each session may be repeated at weekly or monthly intervals to investigate the effects of interventions as part of clinical trials or treatment assessment, and to correlate session summary parameters with clinical events, morbidity and mortality
• In physiologic research, these data are often referred to as “complex physiologic signals”

Why Study Signals?
Physiologic signals and time series reveal aspects of health, disease, biotoxicity and aging not captured by static measures.
Raw (original) signals are of interest as means of
developing new biomarkers measuring parameters of known interest developing new insights into basic mechanisms of human physiology

Intensive Data: Cardiology Studies
• Continuous recording: ECG is recorded continuously during the entire testing period.
• Event monitor, or loop recording: ECG is recorded only when the patient starts the recording, when symptoms are felt.
![Page 8: 1 Clinical Investigation and Outcomes Research Analysis of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Data Marcia A. Testa, MPH, PhD Department of Biostatistics Harvard](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e4a5503460f94b3e55b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Example 1: Heart Rate Dynamics
Pathology can affect physiologic recordings in unexpected and interesting ways.
Analysis of complex signals can extract information hidden in data. Figure shows shows the instantaneous heart rates of four subjects. The plot of heart rate (beats/min) versus time (min) is called a tachogram.
Of the four tachograms shown, only one signal is from a healthy person. Can you tell which it is?
![Page 10: 1 Clinical Investigation and Outcomes Research Analysis of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Data Marcia A. Testa, MPH, PhD Department of Biostatistics Harvard](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e4a5503460f94b3e55b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

In A and C we can see a rather periodic signal, with low variability of its values. In case C, there is a pattern of periodic oscillations (1/min), which is associated with Cheyne-Stokes breathing.
The healthy record B is characterized by a rather rough and ‘patchy’ configuration, attributed to fractal properties of the heart rate signal.
The breakdown of such behavior (fractal dynamics) can lead to either excessive regularity (A &C) or uncorrelated randomness (D).

Example 4: Pharmacokinetics
• Pharmacokinetics provides good general framework for the family of models which involves extracting parameters representative of biological processes– Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and
excretion– Intensity and duration of therapeutic and toxic
effects of many drugs are closely related to their biological availability and disposition

Steps in Analysis1. Collect raw signal data (e.g., heart rate, glucose,
plasma concentration) and transfer to relational database for estimation of parameters
2. Estimate signal parameters (e.g., heart rate variability, glucose variability, pharmacokinetic rate constants) using analytical programs
3. Use estimated parameters as dependent measures for prediction of health outcome or mortality (Exposed vs Unexposed), or determine how treatment (e.g., beta blocker) changes signal and how that change impacts health outcome, clinical event or mortality (Experimental vs. Control)

HRV: Time-Domain Methods
• Based upon beat-to-beat or RR intervals– SDRR: standard deviation (SD) of RR
intervals over 24 hours– SDARR: SD of average RR intervals
calculated over short periods ( 5 mins)– RR50: number of pairs of successive RRs
that differ by more than 50 minutes.
![Page 25: 1 Clinical Investigation and Outcomes Research Analysis of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Data Marcia A. Testa, MPH, PhD Department of Biostatistics Harvard](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e4a5503460f94b3e55b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
HRV: Frequency-Domain Methods
• Fast Fourier transform• High Frequency band (HF) between 0.15
and 0.4 Hz. HF is driven by respiration and appears to derive mainly from vagal activity (parasympathetic nervous system).
• Low Frequency band (LF) between 0.04 and 0.15 Hz. LF derives from both parasympathetic and sympathetic activity and has been hypothesized to reflect the delay in the baroreceptor loop.
![Page 26: 1 Clinical Investigation and Outcomes Research Analysis of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Data Marcia A. Testa, MPH, PhD Department of Biostatistics Harvard](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e4a5503460f94b3e55b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
HRV: Frequency-Domain Parameters• Fast Fourier transform• Very Low Frequency band (VLF) band between
0.0033 and 0.04 Hz. The origin of VLF is not well known.
• Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) band between 0 and 0.0033 Hz. The major background of ULF is day–night variation and therefore is only expressed in 24-hour recordings.
• The ratio of low-to-high frequency spectra power(LF/HF) has been proposed as an index of sympathetic to parasympathetic balance of heart rate fluctuation, but this is controversial because of the lack of understanding of the mechanisms for the LF component.

27
HRV: Non-linear Methods
• Poincaré plot. Each data point represents a pair successive beats, the x-axis is the current RR interval, while the y-axis is the previous RR interval.
• HRV is quantified by fitting mathematically defined geometric shapes to the data.
• Other methods used are the correlation dimension, nonlinear predictability, point wise correlation dimension and approximate entropy.
![Page 28: 1 Clinical Investigation and Outcomes Research Analysis of Physiologic and Pharmacologic Data Marcia A. Testa, MPH, PhD Department of Biostatistics Harvard](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649e4a5503460f94b3e55b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
The abscissa represents the RR interval of the current normal beat and ordinate represents the RR interval of the succeeding normal beat.
An ellipse is fitted to the data points and the Poincaré plot indices are calculated by estimating the short diameter (SD1), the long diameter (SD2) and the ratio of the short and long diameters (SD1/SD2 ratio) of the fitted ellipse
Poincaré plot

Pharmacokinetic Processes
• Liberation – the release of the drug from its dosage form
• Absorption – the movement of drug from the site of administration to the blood circulation
• Distribution – the process by which the drug diffuses or is transferred from intravascular space to extravascular space (body tissues)
• Metabolism – the chemical conversion of drugs into compounds that cab be eliminated
• Excretion – the elimination of unchanged drug or metabolite from the body via renal, biliary, or pulmonary processes.

Elimination Constant
First order elimination, rate is proportional to concentration. The elimination rate constant Kel represents the portion of the drug eliminated per unit time.

Elimination Constant
The slope of the line of the concentration plotted on the log scale correlates with Kel.
Kel = ln(Peak/Trough)/time (P-T))

Summarize the Raw Data
• The individual daily curves should be summarized to obtain signal parameters meaningful to the research objectives
• Examples – Mean, Max, Minimum for each day– Percent > 180 mg/dl (hyperglycemia)– Percent < 36 mg/dl (severe hypoglycemia)– Intraday standard deviation (glucose variability)– Area above and below defined thresholds
