Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

130
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...

Area of Science:

  • Quality Improvement Science
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent but often underdiagnosed.
  • Obesity (BMI ≥30) is a significant risk factor for OSA.
  • Effective screening strategies are needed to identify at-risk individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the screening rate for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults aged 18 and above with obesity.
  • To implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the STOP-Bang Questionnaire (SBQ) for OSA screening.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project utilizing a pre-implementation and post-implementation design.
  • Implementation of the STOP-Bang Questionnaire (SBQ) during annual exams, chronic disease management visits, and Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals.
  • Study involved 946 patients (471 pre-implementation, 475 post-implementation).

Main Results:

  • OSA screening rates increased from 14.1% to 71.6% in the general obese population.
  • For commercial driver's license (CDL) holders, screening rates rose from 26.7% to 90.4%.
  • The proportion of CDL holders with intermediate to high OSA risk (SBQ ≥3) was 65.2% pre-intervention and 50% post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized OSA screening is vital for early diagnosis and management.
  • Screening during DOT physicals can improve community safety.
  • Earlier OSA identification can prevent complications, reduce costs, and improve outcomes.
