Rezumat	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.	The IRLS is a 10-item clinician-administered rating scale designed to assess the severity of symptoms in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Developed and validated by Walters and colleagues in 2003 for the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group, it is the most widely used disease-specific severity measure for RLS in clinical practice and research. The scale captures the cardinal features of RLS—nocturnal leg discomfort, urge to move, sleep disruption, and functional impairment—across multiple dimensions.
