Weighted Epworth sleepiness scale predicted the apnea-hypopnea index better [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2020 Background The relationship between the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is uncertain and even poor. The major problem associated with the ESS might be a lack of consideration of weight in prediction in clinical practice.

A new method for measuring daytime sleepiness: the Epworth sleepiness scale. [PDF]
Sleep, 1991 The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), is described. This is a simple, self-administered questionnaire which is shown to provide a measurement of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness. One hundred and eighty adults answered the ESS, including 30 normal men and women as controls and 150 patients with a ...

Reliability and Efficacy of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale: Is There Still a Place for It? [PDF]
Nat Sci Sleep, 2022 The Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) is a commonly used questionnaire to evaluate patients for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The ESS has been validated as a measure of EDS, but a number of studies have shown more test–retest variability in clinical ...

Clinical utility of the Epworth sleepiness scale
Sleep and Breathing, 2020 The Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) is a widely used tool which has been validated as a measure of sleepiness. However, the scores within individual patients referred for clinical sleep services vary considerably which may limit the clinical use of the ESS. We sought to determine the test-retest reliability of the ESS if scores were classified as either
