The Erlangen Questionnaire: a new 5-item screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea in a sleep clinic population - A prospective, double blinded study.

CONCLUSIONS: EQ is a compact 5-item-based, concise and easy-to-use screening tool to identify both male and female patients with OSA in a sleep clinic-population and exhibits all essential factors of internal and external validity. The results of the EQ are comparable to the best-validated and most commonly used STOP-Bang questionnaire regarding sensitivity and specificity in a sleep clinic population.
