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.

Sleepiness in Different Situations Measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale [PDF]

Sleep, 1994
This investigation examines how the sleep propensity (SP) in one test situation, such as the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), is related to sleepiness in daily life, as assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). This is a self-administered questionnaire, the item scores from which provide a new method for measuring SPs in eight different real ...

Physiological correlates of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale reveal different dimensions of daytime sleepiness. [PDF]

Sleep Adv, 2021
AbstractThe Epworth Sleepiness Scale is commonly used to examine self-reported daytime sleepiness in clinical populations; the physiologic correlates of this scale, however, are not well understood. Furthermore, how well this scale correlates with parallel objective and self-reported concepts of daytime sleepiness is not well described.

Modification of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale in Central China [PDF]

Quality of Life Research, 2011
The well-known excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) assessment, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), is not consistently qualified for patients with diverse living habits. This study is aimed to build a modified ESS (mESS) and then to verify its feasibility in the assessment of EDS for patients with suspected sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in central China ...
