Shah N, Hanna DB, Teng Y, Sotres-Alvarez D, Hall M, Loredo JS, Zee P, Kim M, Yaggi HK, Redline S, Kaplan RC (2014). Development and validation of gender-specific prediction models for sleep apnea in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. American Thoracic Society International Conference, 16-21 May 2014.

This calculator was developed using cross-sectional data on Hispanic/Latino adults aged 18-74 years living in 4 U.S. communities from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (2008-2011). Clinically significant sleep apnea was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events per hour. The prediction model was developed using logistic regression and internally validated. This study was done in U.S. Hispanics/Latinos only and results may not be generalizable to other groups.

Note: The predicted probability of sleep apnea obtained using this risk calculator does not replace evaluation for sleep apnea by a medical provider.
