Study Rationale: Although the STOP-Bang questionnaire has been validated for its efficacy and diagnostic performance in various settings, there is no review that summarizes the pertinent evidence of the STOP-Bang questionnaire in the different populations. We aimed to review the evidence of the diagnostic performance of the STOP-Bang questionnaire, correlation between STOP-Bang scores and the probability of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and its clinical application in various populations.
Study Impact: This review guides healthcare providers in the sleep medicine and perioperative medicine disciplines to be better informed when using the STOP-Bang questionnaire in the different populations.
