Abstract	:	Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder which is associated with significant morbidity. The aim of the current study was to do an updated systematic review of literature on the accuracy of screening questionnaires for OSA against polysomnography (PSG) as the reference test. Method: An English literature search was performed in the main data bases including Medline, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Scopus between January 2010 till April 2017 using a combination of relevant keywords. Population-based studies evaluating the accuracy of screening questionnaires for OSA against PSG were included in the present systematic review. Results: Thirty-nine studies comprising 18068 subjects included in the systematic review. Four screening questionnaires for OSA had been validated in selected studies including, Berlin questionnaire (BQ), STOP-Bang questionnaire (SBQ), Stop questionnaire (SQ) and Epworth sleeping scale (ESS). The sensitivity of SBQ in detecting mild (AHI≥5 events/h) and severe (AHI≥30 events/h) OSA was higher in comparison to other screening questionnaires (ranged from 81.08% to 97.55% and 69.2% to 98.7% respectively). However, SQ had the highest sensitivity in prediction of moderate OSA (AHI≥15 events/h) (ranged from 41.3% to 100%). Conclusion: The present systematic review suggests SQ and SBQ as reliable tools for screening of OSA among sleep clinic patients. Although further validation studies on the screening abilities of theses questionnaires on general populations are required.
