Comorbidities associated with high-risk obstructive sleep apnea based on the STOP-BANG questionnaire: a nationwide population-based study.
Article in The Korean journal of internal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimsWe investigated the prevalence, associated factors, and comorbidities of high-risk obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as determined by the STOP-BANG questionnaire in a Korean adult population.
methodsData were obtained from 7,650 adults (aged ≥ 40 years) who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2020). Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association of socioeconomic status, lifestyle related factors, and comorbidities with high-risk OSA (STOP-BANG score, 5-8).
resultsThe prevalence of high-risk OSA according to the STOP-BANG questionnaire was 12.0 %. Older age, male, current smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and more comorbidities were associated with higher STOP-BANG scores. In multivariable adjusted analysis, diabetes mellitus (DM) (odds ratio [OR], 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.25 to 1.97), hypertension (OR, 4.81; 95% CI, 3.88 to 5.97), and obesity (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.60 to 2.56) were associated with high risk of OSA, and when hypertension, DM, and obesity were combined, the risk increased synergistically (OR, 3.88; 95% CI, 2.94 to 5.11).
conclusionAccording to the STOP-BANG questionnaire, the high risk of OSA was more common in males, and was associated with chronic metabolic disease, particularly in those with DM, hypertension, and obesity combined. Active OSA screening, prevention, and management may be beneficial to improving health outcomes related to OSA in these populations.
