Summary Introduction: The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a respiratory illness, characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea and hypopnea, leading to reduction or cessation of the airflow. Obesity is one of the major risk factors for the development of OSAS. To help in the diagnosis of this disease, easily applicable and low-cost questionnaries were developed, such as the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ). Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the BQ for the screening of OSAS among candidates to bariatric surgery in a multidisciplinary preoperative program. Method: This is an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study which evaluated obese individuals that were being prepared for bariatric surgery by means of the BQ. Results: BQ was able to detect that minimal variations in the body mass index, neck circumference and hip-to-waist ratio lead to changes in the risk to develop OSAS; the higher the values of these variables, the higher the risk for OSAS development. Conclusion: BQ was an efficient and reliable tool to demonstrate the high risk for OSAS development in individual with obesity.

Abstract Introduction To explore the prevalence and risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in 3-14 years old children in Beijing. Methods A cross-sectional study of random stratified cluster sampling was conducted on 3-14 years old children and adolescents in Beijing. The preliminary screening was completed through Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) investigation and the diagnosis of OSAS was conducted by polysomnography. Results After random sampling, a total of 11 kindergartens, 7 primary schools and 8 junior high schools from 7 districts of Beijing were involved in the survey. A total of 11420 questionnaires were sent out, and 10743 (94.07%) were recovered. The final effective data were 9198 (effective response rate 85.62%). The age of the investigated children was 8.8±3.8 years. PSQ positive rate was 8.86% (95CI 8.28-9.44%). With diagnostic criteria AHI≥5, the estimated prevalence of OSAS in Beijing children was 5.90% (95%CI 3.72-8.28%); with ICSD-3 diagnostic criteria (OAHI>1), the estimated prevalence was 8.08% (95% CI 5.74-10.62%). Overweight (OR=3.13), frequent allergic rhinitis (OR=6.80) and family snoring history (OR=6.14) were important risk factors for children’s OSAS. Conclusion PSQ was used in Beijing children’s OSAS epidemiological survey with good reliability and validity. The positive rate of the PSQ screening was 8.86% (95CI 8.28-9.44%);the estimated prevalence of OSAS in children aged 3-14 years in Beijing was 5.90% (95%CI 3.72-8.28%) with criteria AHI≥5 and 8.08% (95%CI 5.74-10.62%) with criteria OAHI>1, respectively. Gender, BMI, history of ENT and family history of snoring were important risk factors for children’s OSAS.
