Over one-fifth of an IBD cohort met significantly high-risk criteria for OSA to warrant referral for a diagnostic sleep study. The risk of OSA was associated with abdominal pain, along with more traditional risk factors such as smoking, increasing age, and obesity. Consideration should be given for screening for OSA in IBD patients utilizing a novel screening tool that utilizes parameters typically available in IBD clinic.
