Evaluating the performance of five scoring systems for prescreening obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated that the STOP-Bang questionnaire and the SACS both show better predictive value than other scoring systems among the five screening tools for OSAHS. Both scoring systems are simple and easy to implement for screening for OSAHS in the community and in hospitals.
