Because of their high costs and low availability, sleep recordings cannot be used as routine procedures for sleep apnea screening. Therefore, it is important to have a performant screening tool allowing to select patients at higher risk for sleep apnea who need further investigations. The goal of the study is to compare the performances of the three commonly used sleep disordered breathing (SDB) screening questionnaires in a clinical sample. ⋯ NoSAS score showed a better discrimination capacity compared to Berlin and STOP Bang scores in an unselected clinical population referred to a sleep center.
