Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing. While patients on chronic opioids are at increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing, there is a lack of data on the relationship between opioid dose and OSA risk in particular. The STOP-Bang Questionnaire (SBQ) is a common screening tool for OSA, but it has not been well studied in patients on chronic opioid therapy.
