Özet

OBJECTIVES: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common sleep-related disorder and has many medical complications. Although the STOP-BANG questionnaire is an attractive screening tool because of high sensitivity, it lacks power in specificity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of standard STOP-BANG and a modified STOP-BANG questionnaire, using national cut-off values for neck circumference that determined OSA, in a sleep center population.
