| description | The percussion entropy index (PEI<sub>orginal</sub>) was recently introduced to assess the complexity of baroreflex sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the ability of a speedy modified PEI (i.e., PEI<sub>NEW</sub>) application to distinguish among age-controlled subjects with or without diabetes. This was carried out using simultaneous photo-plethysmo-graphy (PPG) pulse amplitude series and the R wave-to-R wave interval (RRI) series acquired from healthy subjects (Group 1, number = 42), subjects diagnosed as having diabetes mellitus type 2 with satisfactory blood sugar control (Group 2, number = 38), and type 2 diabetic patients with poor blood sugar control (Group 3, number = 35). Results from PEI<sub>orginal</sub> and multiscale cross-approximate entropy (MCAE) were also addressed with the same datasets for comparison. The results show that optimal prolongation between the amplitude series and RRI series could be delayed by one to three heartbeat cycles for Group 2, and one to four heartbeat cycles for Group 3 patients. Group 1 subjects only had prolongation for one heartbeat cycle. This study not only demonstrates the sensitivity of PEI<sub>NEW</sub> and PEI<sub>orginal</sub> in differentiating between Groups 2 and 3 compared with MCAE, highlighting the feasibility of using percussion entropy applications in autonomic nervous function assessments, it also shows that PEI<sub>NEW</sub> can considerably reduce the computational time required for such processes. |
