چکیده انگلیسی
Screening for OSAS in primary care by means of a postal questionnaire produced a low response. Whilst there was no evidence of a responder bias in terms of BMI, the numbers reporting large collar size, daytime sleepiness and witnessed apnoea suggest that a sizeable proportion of the population is at risk of OSAS. Questionnaires used in this study provide a means of identifying patients with symptoms suggestive of OSAS, although the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of a self-administered instrument needs to be confirmed by a larger study incorporating ventilatory monitoring during sleep. The addition of screening to pre-registration health checks is feasible, but it would take a long time to screen all those at risk for OSAS by this route.
