“…Validation in Indian populations have shown a sensitivity of 84-92% and specificity of 50-54.5% with a positive predictive value of 88-92% and negative predictive value of 50-62%. 40,41 Modified Berlin Questionnaire This questionnaire was initially developed to screen for risk factors predicting the presence of OSA by including questions about snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, presence of hypertension, and obesity in the first part. If a positive response is present to any of these, the subsequent part with a four-point frequency scale is administered to determine the likelihood of OSA.…”

“…43,44 A study comparing ESS and STOP-BANG in India reported a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 55.6%, PPV 45.7% and NPV of 100% for ESS. 40 However, Western literature seems to indicate that ESS has a sensitivity that is much lower than that of STOP-BANG, Berlin questionnaire (BQ) and advice against using ESS for screening patients. 45,46…”

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition characterized by episodes of apnea or hypopnea during sleep that result in excessive daytime sleepiness and a range of metabolic disturbances, which adversely affect cardiovascular, metabolic, and psychologic health. The common underlying mechanism for the same is periodic airway closure, which worsens with loss of pharyngeal muscle tone during sleep that results in significant obstruction and episodic apnea. Obesity is one comorbidity that commonly precipitates OSA and also worsens the long-term metabolic sequelae of OSA. With the ever increasing epidemic of obesity that is now starting to affect more developing countries such as India, more patients are undergoing bariatric surgery than before for a range of indications. This population provides a unique set of management issues that shall be the subject of this review.
