Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of using the STOP-Bang questionnaire alongside the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) for detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a patient population.
  • Data from 1,671 patients suspected of having OSA were analyzed through overnight polysomnography, revealing the diagnostic strengths and weaknesses of both screening tools.
  • The findings suggest that using a STOP-Bang score of ≥3 in combination with ESS enhances the screening’s specificity for OSA diagnosis and recommends further evaluation of patients with this score.
