Derivation and Validation of a combination of BOSTON score and DES-OSA score to exclude OSA or to confirm OSA in patients.
The aim of this study is to derive and to validate a combination of BOSTON score and DES-OSA score. Firstly, the investigators will use a retrospective cohort of 400 patients to determine this combination. It will allow classifying patients in 3 groups: 1) patients for whom OSA can be excluded with certitude, 2) patients for whom OSA can be diagnosed with certitude, and 3) an intermediate group. Secondly, the 100 patients included in this study will serve to validate the cutoff of the abovementioned combination into a new population.

Validation of cutoff values for the combination of BOSTON score and DES-OSA score in order to classify patients following their risk to present an OSA Syndrome.
Validation of cutoff values for the combination of BOSTON score and DES-OSA score derived in the retrospective group in order to validate these cutoff values in order to classify patients following their risk to present an OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) Syndrome. The measurements will serve to validate the classification establish in the retrospective study, namely 1) patients without OSA with certitude, 2) patients with OSA with certitude, 3) an intermediate category.
