Validation of Bahasa Malaysia STOP-BANG questionnaire for identification of obstructive sleep apnea.
The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by polysomnography (PSG) is time-consuming and expensive. The STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ) is an adequate screening tool and easily applied. We aimed to validate the Bahasa Malaysia version for use in sleep clinic. ⋯ The Bahasa Malaysia version of SBQ is a valid tool for the identification of OSA. It is useful to detect patients at risk for further investigation and management.

Effect of remifentanil during drug-induced sleep endoscopy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
During drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the increased depth of propofol anesthesia is related to the increased collapsibility of the upper airway with dose-dependent. We examined the effect of remifentanil on propofol concentration during DISE. ⋯ Use of remifentanil during DISE reduces the target concentration of propofol required for patient sedation to perform DISE without respiratory depression.

Poor sleep quality is prevalent and is associated with cognitive decline, impaired health, and reduced quality of life. There is a lack of studies about sleep quality and its potential risk factors among rural adults aged 45 years or above under rapid urbanization in China. ⋯ Sleep problems were prevalent among the rural Chinese adults aged 45+ years. People who were unmarried or had low personal income or any chronic diseases were more likely to have poor sleep quality.
