There are several screening questionnaires for OSA, although the accuracy of many of them is limited.4,6,7,24 The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a validated screening tool, particularly in obese and surgical patients (Figure 1).27 Its sensitivity has consistently been shown to be greater than 85%, with a specificity ranging between 25% and 85%, and a higher specificity in obese men.27–29 The STOP-Bang questionnaire can be easily administered in the primary care setting.
