First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether having a higher body mass index (BMI) and using simple sleep apnea screening questionnaires can predict breathing or sedation-related problems during endoscopy. Researchers enrolled 350 adults with a BMI of 25 or higher who were scheduled for an upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. Participants filled out two sleep apnea screening forms before their procedure, and the team tracked any adverse events during the endoscopy.
