Predicitive ability of NOSAS score and STOPBANG score in identifying Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Predictive Abilities of Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Stop Bang in Identifying Patients at High Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

“…Similarly, RAnjAn et al 15 RAnjAn et al15 conducted a study with the objective of evaluating the reliability of the STOP-Bang questionnaire and ESS in identifying OSA in patients who visited a sleep clinic in India. The results were consistent with those of Vulli et al 14 , as the STOP-Bang questionnaire was found to be more efficient than ESS in screening for OSA, demonstrating greater sensitivity and specificity.…”

“…They concluded that higher the STOP-Bang score, the greater is the probability of moderate-to-severe OSA. 13 Vulli et al 14 conducted a study on dental patients in India, the effectiveness of two screening tools in identifying OSA was investigated. The researchers discovered that compared to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the STOP-Bang questionnaire exhibited higher sensitivity and specificity in identifying OSA.…”

“…Study characteristics and demographic data are summarized in Table 1 and eTable 3 in the Supplement , respectively. 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 The initial search yielded 3871 studies, with 162 additional studies identified through citations (eFigure 1 in the Supplement ). After screening titles and abstracts, 2309 articles were excluded, and 58 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility.…”

“…Included studies showed low to moderate risk of bias after validity assessment and were used to answer our review question. Studies were organized into 6 groups: (1) North America (9 studies, 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 3507 participants); (2) South America (6 studies, 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 10 709 participants); (3) Europe (10 studies, 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 5679 participants); (4) the Middle East (11 studies, 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 3468 participants); (5) East Asia (4 studies, 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 1665 participants); and (6) South or Southeast Asia (7 studies, 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 1519 participants).…”
