Comparison of Demographic Data Mentioned by the Patients or Measured by a Physician

Astes187 enrolled

Overview

OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) represents a major risk of postoperative complications. Predictive scores have been developed as the STOP-Bang score and the DES-OSA score. These scores take into account morphological parameters such as weight, height, and neck circumference. These data can be contained from the patients (self-reported) or by the measurements performed by a physician. The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of both measurements (self-reported by the patient or measured by the physicians).
