STOP-Bang Infographic

Infographic: Area Under Curve (AUC) of STOP-Bang 3 or more as threshold across geographic regions, against polysomnography (AHI 15 or more for moderate-severe OSA, 30 or more for severe OSA). Moderate / severe AUC: North America 0.89 / 0.89; South America 0.74 / 0.66; Europe 0.81 / 0.96; Middle East 0.83 / 0.78; South/Southeast Asia 0.70 / 0.89; East Asia 0.52 / 0.41.
AUC of STOP-Bang ≥3 as threshold across geographic regions.
Infographic: Area Under Curve (AUC) of STOP-Bang 3 or more as threshold in the general population versus commercial drivers. General population: 0.76 for moderate-severe OSA and 0.74 for severe OSA. Commercial drivers: limited studies.
AUC of STOP-Bang ≥3 as threshold in the general population vs. commercial drivers.
Infographic "Breathe Right, Sleep Tight: Navigating the World of Sleep Apnea" from UHN Krembil Brain Institute. It explains that sleep apnea is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder, shows how relaxed throat muscles obstruct the airway compared with a normal airway, and lists the risks: insufficient oxygen, stress hormones and inflammation that increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and diabetes. It illustrates the eight STOP-Bang questions (loud snoring, tiredness, observed stopped breathing or choking, high blood pressure, BMI over 35, age over 50, neck over 40 cm, male) and the scoring: low risk yes to 0-2 questions, intermediate risk 3-4, high risk 5-8, advising people at intermediate or high risk to seek guidance from their healthcare provider.
