[Predictive value of STOP-Bang questionnaire combined with Epworth sleepiness scale for OSA]
Abstract:
Objective:To explore the predictive value of STOP-Bang questionnaire(SBQ) combined with Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) for OSA. Method: Both SBQ and ESS were conducted to assess 356 potential OSA patients. ROC curve was drawn in comparison with the gold standard of PSG. The values were obtained after the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values and negative predictive values were calculated. Result:When combined, the sensitivity(89.31%), specificity(78.95%), positive predictive value(97.26%), negative predictive value(46.88%) and the area under ROC curve(AUC=0.821) were higher. Conclusion:SBQ and ESS have certain predictive value in OSA screening. When combined, the accuracy of prediction OSA can be improved, which can help medical staff to identify patients with high risk of OSA early.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
