AB  - BACKGROUND: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a higher risk of 
      developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared to the general population. Our 
      study aims to analyze the usefulness of the STOP-BANG score, tool which was not 
      yet validated in patients with diabetets, as a tool that estimates the severity 
      of OSA, in patients with T2DM. METHODS: 120 patients, who answered the STOP-BANG 
      questionnaire and underwent polysomnography, were included in the study. The 
      patients were divided into 3 groups, depending on the severity of OSA, defined by 
      the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI). RESULTS: A significant percentage of participants 
      (42.1%) had a severe form of OSA (AHI >/=30) and a high percentage of subjects had 
      a STOP-BANG score >/=5 (58.7%), equivalent to a severe form of the disease. The 
      STOP-BANG score increased proportionally with AHI (p<0.001). The area under the 
      ROC curve for the STOP-Bang score indicated an optimal cut-off value of 4.5, with 
      a sensitivity of 88.2% and a specificity of 62.9% (p <0.001), STOP-BANG score >/=5 
      being an independent predictor for severe OSA in patients with T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: 
      The STOP-BANG score can be used in patients with diabetes to detect severe OSA in 
      order to establish appropriate therapeutic measures.
