Abstract
Objective: To verify the reliability of a STOP-Bang questionnaire and objective blood oxygen concentration (SpO2) estimation by pulse oximetry as an indicator of patients' vulnerability to OSA, by correlating data of these two tests with that of the "gold standard" all-night polysomnography.
Methods: STOP-Bang score and pulse oximetry value (SpO2) for each patient were tabulated against the total sleep AHI score (obtained from subsequent all-night polysomnography) and analyzed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the STOP-Bang questionnaire and pulse oximetry.
Results: With sensitivity and specificity scores of 91.2% and 88.6%, respectively, positive predictive value 90.5%, negative predictive value 40.2%, the twin diagnostic test (STOP-Bang and pulse oximetry) was found to be highly congruent with the polysomnography (PSG), achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 85%.
Conclusion: Dental chairside screening by STOP-Bang questionnaire and pulse oximetry would be a good option, especially where logistic and economic constraints impede all-night polysomnography.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
