Validation of the efficacy of the GPSS questionnaire for screening obstructive sleep apnea
According to the ROC results, the GPSS questionnaire was superior to the other four scales in screening for mild-to-moderate OSA, though there remains room for improvement in detecting severe OSA. Therefore, we recommend the GPSS for early screening of OSA, especially in primary healthcare settings with limited time. For patients at high risk of severe OSA, a combination of GPSS and other screening tools could be considered.
