Description
Aman Gul and colleagues devised, in a 2026 study, a simple scoring chart to predict moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in western China, without needing a full sleep lab first. Their data came from 11,030 patients who had overnight sleep studies between 2012 and 2020.
Patients split into a building group of 7,721 and a checking group of 3,309. Six factors survived as solo predictors: age, body mass index, neck size, male sex, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The chart fit both groups well in their tests, though accuracy was modest, stronger in the building group than the checking one. The authors offer it as a triage aid for busy clinics deciding who needs testing first.
