Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is extremely common among bariatric surgical candidates. Identifying those at risk for moderate to severe OSA is challenging. Testing all bariatric surgical candidates with a level 1 polysomnographic study is expensive and resource intensive. The aim of this study is to evaluate three standardized screening questionnaires that are utilized to identify high-risk patients for OSA undergoing bariatric surgery.Keywords
