Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome（OSAHS）is a chronic disorder characterized by repetitive apneas,oxygen desaturation and disruption during sleep.The main clinical manifestations of OSAHS are snores,intermittent hypoxia,morning headache,excessive daytime sleepiness,tired and memory descent.OSAHS affects 3%~20% of the general population.Although commonly accepted as the gold standard for diagnosis of OSAHS,PSG is thought to be time-consuming,labor-intensive,costly and uncomfortable.Evidence from epidemiology indicated that 93% of women and 82% of men with moderate to severe OSAHS have not been clinically diagnosed.An epidemiological survey in Shanghai,China,showed that more than 85% of OSAHS was undiagnosed.Studies showed that undiagnosed OSAHS is independently associated with the increased likelihood of hypertension,cardiovascular diseases,stroke,daytime sleepiness,motor vehicle accidents,and diminished quality of life.Thus,researchers have attempted to develop a simple and effective tool to screen patients with OSAHS,which has been reviewed and summarized in our article.
