Critical concerns in the interpretation of STOP and STOP-BANG in the elderly: recommendation of differently assessed cut-off values for STOP-BANG.

According to PG/PSG, 474 participants had no OSA and 2658 had mild to severe OSA. The sensitivity of the STOP was 86, 5% with the specificity of 45, 3%, whereas for the STOP-BANG there was a 92, 4% sensitivity with specificity of 45, 8%. In conclusion, our findings have indicated STOP bang screening performance as extremely low in subjects older than 60 years of age, reporting very low specificity for STOP and extremely low specificity for STOP BANG questionnaire.
