Orientation questionnaire

An in-house questionnaire based on risk factors documented in public literature — it doesn't reproduce or score like copyrighted clinical instruments (Epworth, STOP-BANG).

A personal tracking tool. It does not replace your doctor's judgment.

Orientation FAQs

Does this questionnaire diagnose sleep apnea?

No. It collects factors that public literature links to sleep apnea and gives you a qualitative orientation. Diagnosis requires a sleep study interpreted by a doctor.

Why doesn't it give a risk score?

Scored scales (Epworth, STOP-BANG) are validated, copyrighted clinical instruments. This questionnaire is deliberately qualitative: it points out matches with documented factors, it doesn't calculate any risk.

What should I do if several factors match?

Raise it with your primary care doctor; if they see fit, they'll refer you to a sleep clinic for a study. Writing down your symptoms and how long they've been happening helps a lot in that appointment.

What is a sleep study?

The test used to diagnose apnea: it records your breathing, oxygen, and sleep over one night — at home or in a hospital unit — and a medical professional interprets it.
