Project description:Study objectivesThe accuracy of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening instruments in seniors may change as the predictive role of sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) changes with aging. We investigated the diagnostic performance of the STOP-BANG questionnaire in older individuals with aging-adapted scores and thresholds.MethodsIndependent community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or older were screened for OSA. The STOP-BANG questionnaire was tested with different configurations and compared to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) obtained from home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were tested as possible supplementary screening criteria.ResultsWe recruited 458 individuals with a mean age of 71 ± 5 years, 41% men, BMI of 28.5 ± 4.6 kg/m². Mild, moderate, and severe OSA were present in, respectively, 34%, 30%, and 19% of the sample. The STOP questions had an area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve significantly lower than the STOP-BANG and the STOP+BMI > 28 kg/m² (STOP-B28). Both STOP-BANG and STOP-B28 had high sensitivity and low specificity in all OSA levels with similar AUC to predict AHI ≥ 5 events/h, 0.64. ESS and AIS were nonsignificant as adjunctive instruments.ConclusionsNovel modifications of a standard instrument created the STOP-B28, a simpler-to-obtain and similarly performing variation of the STOP-BANG using fewer inputs, and useful to exclude OSA. Screening seniors via questionnaires to detect OSA is problematic. Considering the 83% OSA prevalence in this age group, it may be a sensible option to indicate objective tests, oximetry, HSAT, or even polysomnography, as a first step in OSA investigation.

Project description:ImportanceObstructive sleep apnea has been associated with postoperative delirium, which predisposes patients to major adverse outcomes. Positive airway pressure may be an effective intervention to reduce delirium in this population.ObjectivesTo determine if preoperative obstructive sleep apnea is associated with postoperative incident delirium in the intensive care unit and if preoperative positive airway pressure adherence modifies the association.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted at a US tertiary hospital from November 1, 2012, to August 31, 2016, among 7792 patients admitted to an intensive care unit who underwent routine Confusion Assessment Method for the intensive care unit after major surgery. Patients were adults who had undergone a complete preoperative anesthesia assessment, received general anesthesia, underwent at least 1 delirium assessment, were not delirious preoperatively, and had a preoperative intensive care unit stay of less than 6 days. Statistical analysis was conducted from August 20, 2019, to January 11, 2020.ExposuresSelf-reported obstructive sleep apnea, billing diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, or STOP-BANG (Snoring, Tiredness, Observed Apnea, Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Age, Neck Circumference and Gender) questionnaire score greater than 4, as well as self-reported use of preoperative positive airway pressure.Main outcomes and measuresDelirium within 7 days of surgery.ResultsA total of 7792 patients (4562 men; mean [SD] age, 59.2 [15.3] years) met inclusion criteria. Diagnosed or likely obstructive sleep apnea occurred in 2044 patients (26%), and delirium occurred in 3637 patients (47%). The proportion of patients with incident delirium was lower among those with obstructive sleep apnea than those without (897 of 2044 [44%] vs 2740 of 5748 [48%]; unadjusted risk difference, -0.04; 99% credible interval [CrI], -0.07 to -0.00). Positive airway pressure adherence had minimal association with delirium (risk difference, -0.00; 99% CrI, -0.09 to 0.09). Doubly robust confounder adjustment eliminated the association between obstructive sleep apnea and delirium (risk difference, -0.01; 99% CrI, -0.04 to 0.03) and did not change that of preoperative positive airway pressure adherence (risk difference, -0.00, 99% CrI, -0.07 to 0.07). The results were consistent across multiple sensitivity analyses.Conclusions and relevanceAfter risk adjustment, this study found no association between obstructive sleep apnea and postoperative delirium in the context of usual care in the intensive care unit, with 99% CrIs excluding clinically meaningful associations. With limited precision, no association was found between positive airway pressure adherence and delirium. Selection bias and measurement error limit the validity and generalizability of these observational associations; however, they suggest that interventions targeting sleep apnea and positive airway pressure are unlikely to have a meaningful association with postoperative intensive care unit delirium.

Project description:Smoking is a risk factor for respiratory diseases, and it worsens sleep quality due to nicotine stimulation and sudden nicotine withdrawal during sleep. This can increase the severity of OSA through alterations upper airway inflammation and neuromuscular function, arousal mechanisms, and sleep architecture. Therefore, it may lead to sleep-disrupted breathing, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Herein, this study aims to research the association between smoking and OSA through the STOP-Bang index. In this study, total sample of 3442 participants (1465 men and 1977 women) were analyzed. We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2020 by classifying adults into current, ex-, and non-smokers. A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between smoking and OSA. Furthermore, multinomial regression analysis was used to investigate the effect of smoking cessation. For males, compared to the non-smokers, the odds ratios (OR) for the OSA were significantly higher in the ex-smokers (OR: 1.53, 95% confidence interval(CI) 1.01-2.32) and current smokers (OR: 1.79, 95% CI 1.10-2.89). In females, higher ORs were observed for OSA risk, similar to the non-smokers, smoking cessation, and pack-years. Among men, OSA was significantly associated with a moderate risk for ex-smokers (OR: 1.61, 95% CI 1.05-2.48) and a severe risk for current smokers (OR: 1.88, 95% CI 1.07-3.29). This study observed that smoking might contribute to OSA risk among adults. Smoking cessation can help to manage sleep quality properly.

Project description:PurposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in children and diagnostic polysomnography is costly and not readily available in all areas. We developed a pediatric modification of a commonly used adult clinical prediction tool for stratifying the risk of OSA and the need for polysomnography.MethodsA total of 312 children (age 9-17 years) from phase 2 of the Tucson Children's Assessment of Sleep Apnea cohort study, with complete anthropomorphic data, parent questionnaires, and home polysomnograms were included. An adolescent modification of STOP-Bang (teen STOP-Bang) was developed and included snoring, tired, observed apnea, blood pressure ≥ 95th percentile, BMI > 95th percentile, academic problems, neck circumference >95th percentile for age, and male gender. An apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 1.5 events/hour was considered diagnostic of OSA.ResultsReceiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves for parent-reported STOP-Bang scores were generated for teenage and pre-teen children. A STOP-Bang score of < 3 in teenagers was associated with a negative predictive value of 0.96. ROC curves were also generated based upon child-reported sexual maturity rating (SMR; n = 291). The ability of teen STOP-Bang to discriminate the presence or absence of OSA as measured by the AUC for children with SMR ≥ 4 (0.83; 95%CI 0.71-0.95) was better than children with SMR < 4 (0.63; 95%CI 0.46-0.81; p = 0.048).ConclusionsIn community dwelling adolescents, teen STOP-Bang may be useful in stratifying the risk of OSA.

Project description:Study objectivesWe examined the validity of the STOP-Bang questionnaire and a modified STOP-Bang questionnaire to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in women with obesity during the second trimester of pregnancy.MethodsNinety-nine pregnant women age 18 years or older with body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2 completed the STOP-Bang questionnaire during their second trimester. The number of oxygen desaturation events (≥ 4% from baseline) was measured using overnight pulse oximetry, with OSA defined as ≥ 5 events/h. A Modified STOP-Bang score was derived by replacing the "Tired" item with Epworth Sleepiness Scale score ≥ 10. Seven candidate models were compared using information theoretic criteria: STOP-Bang, Modified STOP-Bang, and individual STOP-Bang items (Snore, Tired, Observed to stop breathing, high blood Pressure and Neck circumference). We used penalized logistic regression and negative binomial regression to derive predicted probabilities of having OSA and the predicted total event counts.ResultsThe predicted probability of meeting oximetry criteria for OSA increased with higher STOP-Bang scores, from < 10% for a score < 3 to 68% with a score of 6. The total number of disordered breathing events was 1.26 (95% confidence interval 1.06 to 1.50) times greater for a 1-unit increase in STOP-Bang. Of the candidate models, the best relative fit was the Snore item followed by STOP-Bang score (essentially equivalent). The predicted probability of having OSA was 5.0% for no snoring and 26.4% for snoring.ConclusionsSTOP-Bang has been shown to be a useful screening tool for OSA in pregnant women with obesity; however, the snoring question alone might be a simpler, effective predictor.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Title: STOPBANG As A Screening Tool for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Pregnancy; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02542488; Identifier: NCT02542488.

Project description:BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that is highly associated with postoperative complications. The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a simple screening tool for OSA. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the validity of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for screening OSA in the surgical population cohort.MethodsA systematic search of the following databases was performed from 2008 to May 2021: MEDLINE, Medline-in-process, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PsycINFO, Journals @ Ovid, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL. Continued literature surveillance was performed through October 2021.ResultsThe systematic search identified 4641 articles, from which 10 studies with 3247 surgical participants were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 57.3 ± 15.2 years, and the mean BMI was 32.5 ± 10.1 kg/m2 with 47.4% male. The prevalence of all, moderate-to-severe, and severe OSA were 65.2, 37.7, and 17.0%, respectively. The pooled sensitivity of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for all, moderate-to-severe, and severe OSA was 85, 88, and 90%, and the pooled specificities were 47, 29, and 27%, respectively. The area under the curve for all, moderate-to-severe, and severe OSA was 0.84, 0.67, and 0.63.ConclusionsIn the preoperative setting, the STOP-Bang questionnaire is a valid screening tool to detect OSA in patients undergoing surgery, with a high sensitivity and a high discriminative power to reasonably exclude severe OSA with a negative predictive value of 93.2%.Trial registrationPROSPERO registration CRD42021260451 .

Project description:Study objectivesPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cooccur even in veterans who are younger with lower body mass index. The STOP-BANG screener for OSA relies heavily on high blood pressure, age, and body mass index and may not generalize to veterans with PTSD. The inability to effectively screen veterans for OSA is problematic given negative outcomes of untreated OSA.MethodsOur study compared the STOP-BANG to objective OSA diagnostic testing in 48 younger veterans (mean age 43.7 years; 43.8% Caucasian; 20.8% female) seeking treatment for PTSD and insomnia. Apnea-hypopnea events per hour (apnea-hypopnea index), recorded by NOX T3 sleep monitors, were used to diagnose OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 events/h). Logistic regressions examined how STOP-BANG cut-off scores (≥ 3 and ≥ 5) classified OSA status (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 events/h). Follow-up chi-square goodness-of-fit tests examined single-item STOP-BANG performance in the OSA-positive subsample (n = 28).ResultsThe STOP-BANG (≥ 3) had good sensitivity (92.6%) but poor specificity (47.6%) and negative (0.16) and positive (1.77) likelihood ratios. The STOP-BANG (≥ 5) led to improved specificity (76.19%), but sensitivity (37.04%) and positive (1.56)/negative likelihood ratios (0.83) were poor. Single-item OSA subgroup analyses revealed that body mass index, age, and neck circumference performed poorly, while tiredness and sex performed well.ConclusionsFindings suggest that the STOP-BANG correctly diagnosed OSA in some veterans but missed OSA in large number of younger veterans with PTSD. This suggests objective diagnostic OSA testing is needed in veterans with PTSD. Future research is needed to develop more accurate OSA screening measures in this population.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Integrated CBT-I on PE and PTSD Outcomes (Impact Study); URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02774642; Identifier: NCT02774642.CitationLyons R, Barbir LA, Owens R, Colvonen PJ.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to develop a more effective screening model for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the best tool among Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), NoSAS score and STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ).MethodsThis study screened 2,031 consecutive subjects referred with suspected OSA from 2012 to 2016, including the test cohort from 2012 to 2014 and the validation cohort from 2014 to 2016. Anthropometric measurements, polysomnographic data, ESS, NoSAS scores and SBQ scores were recorded. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed and the final predictive models were verified in a validation cohort.ResultsA total of 1,840 adults were finally included. The performance of ESS, NoSAS score and SBQ in screening OSA was compared. The diagnostic accuracy of SBQ was superior to ESS and NoSAS. A predictive model based on SBQ yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.931 (95% CI: 0.915-0.946), and the sensitivity and specificity were 84.47 (95% CI: 81.4-87.2) and 87.36 (95% CI: 83.9-90.3) respectively. In the validation cohort, the AUC was 0.955 (95% CI: 0.938-0.969), with a sensitivity and specificity of 86.79 (95% CI: 83.2-89.9) and 90.88 (95% CI: 87.2-93.8) respectively. In addition, the model performed moderately in screening mild OSA with the AUC being 0.771 (95% CI: 0.721-0.815).ConclusionsThe SBQ was effective in screening moderate-to-severe OSA. And a SBQ -based predictive model afforded excellent diagnostic efficacy, which could be applied in clinical practice.

Project description:Introduction: Postoperative delirium and pain are common complications in adults, and are difficult both to prevent and treat. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in surgical patients, and has been suggested to be a risk factor for postoperative delirium and pain. OSA also might impact pain perception, and alter pain medication requirements. This protocol describes an observational study, with the primary aim of testing whether OSA is an independent predictor of postoperative complications, focusing on (i) postoperative incident delirium and (ii) acute postoperative pain severity. We secondarily hypothesize that compliance with prescribed treatment for OSA (typically continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP) might decrease the risk of delirium and the severity of pain. Methods and analysis: We will include data from patients who have been enrolled into three prospective studies: ENGAGES, PODCAST, and SATISFY-SOS. All participants underwent general anesthesia for a non-neurosurgical inpatient operation, and had a postoperative hospital stay of at least one day at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, from February 2013 to May 2018. Patients included in this study have been assessed for postoperative delirium and pain severity as part of the parent studies. In the current study, determination of delirium diagnosis will be based on the Confusion Assessment Method, and the Visual Analogue Pain Scale will be used for pain severity. Data on OSA diagnosis, OSA risk and compliance with treatment will be obtained from the preoperative assessment record. Other variables that are candidate risk factors for delirium and pain will also be extracted from this record. We will use logistic regression to test whether OSA independently predicts postoperative delirium and linear regression to assess OSAs relationship to acute pain severity. We will conduct secondary analyses with subgroups to explore whether these relationships are modified by compliance with OSA treatment.

Project description:Study objectivesThe STOP-Bang questionnaire is a concise and easy screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Using modified body mass index (BMI), we assessed the diagnostic performance of the STOP-Bang questionnaire in predicting OSA in ethnically different groups of patients undergoing surgery.MethodsThis was a multicenter prospective cohort study involving patients with cardiovascular risk factors who were undergoing major noncardiac surgery. Patients underwent home sleep apnea testing. All patients completed the STOP-Bang questionnaire. The predictive parameters of STOP-Bang scores were calculated against the apnea-hypopnea index.ResultsFrom 4 ethnic groups 1,205 patients (666 Chinese, 161 Indian, 195 Malay, and 183 Caucasian) were included in the study. The mean BMI ranged from 25 ± 4 to 30 ± 6 kg/m² and mean age ranged from 64 ± 8 to 71 ± 10 years. For the Chinese and Indian patients, diagnostic parameters are presented using BMI threshold of 27.5 kg/m² with the area under curve to predict moderate-to-severe OSA being 0.709 (0.665-0.753) and 0.722 (0.635-0.808), respectively. For the Malay and Caucasian, diagnostic parameters are presented using BMI threshold of 35 kg/m² with the area under curve for predicting moderate-to-severe OSA being 0.645 (0.572-0.720) and 0.657 (0.578-0.736), respectively. Balancing the sensitivity and specificity, the optimal STOP-Bang thresholds for the Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Caucasian groups were determined to be 4 or greater.ConclusionsFor predicting moderate-to-severe OSA, we recommend BMI threshold of 27.5 kg/m² for Chinese and Indian patients and 35 kg/m² for Malay and Caucasian patients. The optimal STOP-Bang threshold for the Chinese, Indian, Malay and Caucasian groups is 4 or greater.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Postoperative Vascular Events in Unrecognized Obstructive Sleep Apnea; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT01494181; Identifier: NCT01494181.
