<\/div>
This is a questionnaire that evaluates the following patient characteristics:

S<\/b>noring, T<\/b>iredness during daytime, O<\/b>bserved apnea, high blood P<\/b>ressure, B<\/b>ody mass index, A<\/b>ge, N<\/b>eck circumference, G<\/b>ender<\/p><\/div>

Patient population<\/b><\/div>
135 adult patients undergoing elective surgery at a tertiary care center were administered the STOP-BANG questionnaire. <\/div>
<\/div>
41.5% of patients had high risk scores for OSAS.<\/div>
Patients at high risk of OSAS had a much higher rate of postoperative complications compared with patients at low risk (19.6% vs 1.3%).<\/div>
<\/div>
STOP-BANG questionnaire predicts high risk<\/b><\/div>
The STOP-BANG questionnaire is useful for preoperative identification of patients at higher than normal risk for surgical complications, probably because it identifies patients with occult OSAS.<\/div>
