Bayesian modelling of oxygen saturation (SpO2) of cardiac patients using the asymmetric generalized error distribution

Tayu Nigusie Abebe, Ayele Taye GoshuKotebe University of Education. Ethiopia BioMedical Central PediatricsBMC Pediatr 2025; 25: DOI: 10.1186/s12887-025-06094-6 AbstractBackground: Oxygen saturation (SpO₂) is a crucial parameter for monitoring the health of cardiac patients. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with Oxygen. The study aims to analyze longitudinal Oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels
