The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a scoring model consisting of eight easily administered questions starting with the acronym STOP-Bang and is scored based on Yes/No answers each yes sums up 1 point. A score of ≥3 has shown a high sensitivity for detecting OSA: 93% and 100% for moderate and severe OSA, respectively. (1)

-Patients undergoing preoperative evaluation. -Patients presenting to a clinic setting with symptoms associated with OSA like: daytime drowsiness, snoring, observed periods of nighttime apnea, noisy breathing, etc.

- Not well validated in the obstetrical population, a subgroup with increased risk of OSA. - If a patient has already been diagnosed with OSA or uses CPAP at night. - Not for central sleep apnea.
