Improving the STOP-Bang Screening Questionnaire for Patients With Sleep Apnea

Completed

Conditions studied: Sleep Apnea, Metabolic Syndrome

In brief

The study is being conducted to test the ability of a simple questionnaire to detect mild, moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea. The investigators are also investigating whether adding the size of the neck and waist can add to the accuracy of the questionnaire. The study will be conducted at the Center for Sleep Medicine at Tufts Medical Center. The investigators hope to enroll 250 patients in our study at Tufts Medical Center.
