【 摘 要 】

Background: This study was designed to determine the degree of correlation between two obstructivesleep apnea (OSA) questionnaires, the validated ‘STOP-Bang’ questionnaire and ‘Flemons’ Modified NeckCircumference (MNC)’ questionnaire which had been used at our hospital for many years.Methodology: With IRB approval and written informed patient consents, 197 adult outpatients presentingfor gastroenterological procedures were randomly screened for OSA risk using both the STOP-Bang andthe MNC questionnaires. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to measure the statisticaldependence of the scores calculated from the two questionnaires.Results: The Spearman’s correlation between the STOP-Bang questionnaire score and the MNCquestionnaire score was 0.82 (p < 0.001).Conclusions: There is a strong correlation between the STOP-Bang and the MNC questionnaires asdemonstrated in this study. Our successful experience with the MNC questionnaire justify conduction ofa randomized controlled trial to test the validity of the MNC questionnaire.
