STOP-BANG

The STOP-BANG is an 8-item screening tool for identifying patients at risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) before surgery or medical procedures. Developed by Chung and colleagues in 2008, it is widely used in perioperative medicine, primary care, and sleep clinics to quickly stratify OSA risk in both adult patients. The tool demonstrates strong sensitivity for moderate to severe OSA, making it valuable in settings where formal sleep testing is impractical.
