  • • Use the instrument’s exact questions and cutoffs; some enhanced high-risk rules also use combinations of STOP items with sex/BMI/neck. Screening is not a diagnosis of OSA; a score alone should not establish treatment or exclude sleep apnea.

Important limitation

This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
