Among the 54 studies in Sleep Apnea, Obstructive with a site in Turkey, from their registry updates:
Difficult airway management remains the leading cause of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a warning sign of difficult airway management. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of this syndrome, but the STOP-BANG questionnaire is the preferred screening test. In this study, we wanted to find an answer to the question How successful is the STOP-BANG questionnaire in screening for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in predicting OSAS, difficult mask and difficult intubation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery?
Patients between the ages of 18-65, ASA 1-3, who will undergo thoracic surgery at the Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital of the University of Health Sciences will be included in the study.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Easy airway: unassisted mask ventilation, ventilation without the need for an airway, achieving oxygen saturation above 90% during mask ventilation, and unassisted intubation with less than three attempts.
Other: STOP BANG
Difficult airway: assisted mask ventilation, need for airway during ventilation, oxygen saturation falling below 90% during mask ventilation, assisted intubation, intubation attempt three and above
Other: STOP BANG
The STOP-Bang Questionnaire is intended to give physicians an easy-to-use tool to identify people who might have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The questionnaire consists of eight yes-or-no questions based on the major risk factors for OSA. A STOP-Bang score of 2 or less is considered low risk, and a score of 5 or more is high risk for having either moderate or severe OSA. For people who score 3 or 4, doctors may need to perform further assessment to determine how likely they are to have OSA.
Also known as: STOP-Bang Questionnaire
STOP-BANG questionnaire
A STOP-Bang score of 2 or less is considered low risk, and a score of 5 or more is high risk for having either moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For people who score 3 or 4, doctors may need to perform further assessment to determine how likely they are to have OSA.
Time frame: 1 month (1 time)
Started Jan 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2025, 23 months after the start.
Of 258 non-industry observational studies under Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 61. This study's planned 23 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 294 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 63.
