STOP-BANG Questionnaire

The STOP-BANG Questionnaire is a validated screening tool used to identify individuals at risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common but often underdiagnosed sleep disorder. It assesses factors such as snoring, daytime tiredness, observed breathing pauses, blood pressure, body measurements, age, and sex. A higher score suggests increased risk and highlights the need for further sleep evaluation or specialist referral.

This tool screens for risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is for educational purposes and is not diagnostic.
