About

The purpose of this study is to find the correlation between high risk OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) patient, based on Stop-bang screening tool and preeclampsia

Full description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with preeclampsia and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).

Since the gold standard diagnosis of OSA is polysomnogram which is limited by cost and availability. Therefore, various screening tools were proposed in order to identify high risk OSA patient such as Stop-bang questionnaire.

From the previous study, Stop-bang showed a high predictive performance and the score equal or higher than 3 determines high risk for OSA.
