Objective:To determine the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of the STOP BANG questionnaire in diagnosing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adults admitted for polysomnography at the Rizal Medical Center from January 2019 to June 2024
Methods:
Design:Review of Records
Setting:Tertiary Government Training Hospital
Participants:166 adult patients
Results:A total of 166 patient records were included with an average age of 35.6 ± 12 years, BMI of 29.3 ± 6.44 and 67% were male. The STOP-BANG questionnaire had a sensitivity of 77% to screen for all (AHI ≥ 5), mild (AHI = 5-14.9), moderate (AHI = 15-19.9), and severe OSA (AHI > 30), respectively. The specificity was 62% and the area under the curve was 0.717 for all, mild, moderate and severe OSA
Conclusion:A STOP-BANG score of 3/8 can predict the presence of OSA with a sensitivity of 77% and specificity of 62% with AUC of 0.717. The increase in score does not predict the severity. Further research can be done to identify other co-morbidities associated with OSA.

Objective: This study focuses on evaluating the relationship between physical findings, particularly collar size and Body Mass Index (BMI), and polysomnographic parameters in male patients seen at a Sleep Disorders Laboratory, suspected to have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).Methods: Design: Cross-sectional study Setting: Academic tertiary private hospital Subjects: Charts of 149 adult male patients referred for polysomnography between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006 were reviewed. Height, weight and external neck circumference measurements were obtained. The data from polysomnography results were noted and correlated with the physical measurements.Results: The mean collar size for the OSA group was 42.03 cm with a mean BMI of 29.14 while the mean collar size for the normal group was 39.05 cm with a mean BMI of 25.36. A significant difference was noted in both the collar size and body mass index (BMI) between the OSA group and the normal group (p
