What STOP-BANG Calculator does
The STOP-BANG Calculator on Omni Calculator is a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Users answer seven questions covering snoring, tiredness, observed apneas, hypertension, BMI, age over 50, and neck circumference to receive a score indicating their risk level. The output provides a straightforward risk assessment based on the standard STOP-BANG criteria, helping users understand whether further evaluation may be warranted. The tool is designed for quick, self-administered screening rather than clinical diagnosis.
