      Although PSG is a highly reliable diagnostic tool, but screening of every surgical patient is not possible due to the time-commitment, expense and burden on the health care system. Furthermore, it is not practical for quick screening in a busy preoperative clinic [10]. Several screening tools and questionnaire-based methods were developed to assess patients for OSA.

      Citation Excerpt :

      Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterized by an intermittent and repetitive partial (hypopnoea) or total (apnoea) occlusion of the upper airway. Clinically, OSA manifests with excessive daytime sleepiness and metabolic, respiratory, cardiac and cognitive-behavioural disorders [1–3]. OSA is considered a cardiovascular risk factor and has been shown to worsen cognitive performance, especially executive function, in healthy subjects [4].
