This study aims to validate a modified STOPBANG questionnaire as a screening tool for OSA in patients presenting for bariatric surgery. Within this study "do you feel tired?" was replaced by an Epworth Sleepiness Score of 12. OSA was diagnosed in 74 % (21 % mild, 14 % moderate, 39 % severe). No patient with a score of less than 3 was diagnosed with moderate/severe OSA. This increased to 21 % if 5 was used as the cut off. The likelihood of moderate to severe OSA increased from 54 to 64% to 71% with scores of 3, 4, and 5 respectively. The authors concluded that a modified STOPBANG score of less than 3 is an effective cut off point when screening for OSA in obese patients
