Popis: Ultra-wideband bio-radar (UWB) is a new non-contact technology that can be used to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, little information is available regarding its reliability. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of UWB and to determine if UWB could provide a novel and reliable method for the primary screening of sleep-related breathing disorders. Subjects with suspected OSA from the sleep center of the First Hospital of the China Medical University were assessed over the period of September 2018 to April 2019 for enrollment in the study. Three detection methods were simultaneously used, including the STOP-Bang questionnaire (SBQ), UWB, and standard polysomnography (PSG). The data were analyzed using a fourfold table, receiver operating characteristic curves, Spearman rank correlation coefficients, Bland–Altman plots, and epoch-by-epoch analysis. Of 67 patients, 56 were men, mean age was 43 ± 11 years, mean body mass index was 27.8 ± 4.8 kg/m2, and mean SBQ score was 4.8 ± 1.6. The apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) (r = 0.82, p
