MOTIVATION Studies have shown poor clinical effectiveness of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) due to its ambiguity of items and cultural applicability. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to assess sleepiness, compared to ESS. METHODS Thirty-two obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and 32 healthy participants completed two visits, 1 month apart, during which they completed both ESS and VAS. Patients diagnosed with OSA were treated with Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) between visits. The agreement between the ESS and VAS scores in both patients with OSA and healthy participants was investigated using Pearson correlation and Area Under the receiver operating characteristics. RESULTS The (mean ± standard deviation) Oxygen Desaturation Index for patients with OSA was 18.5 ± 5.7 events/hour and 1.7 ± 1.0 events/hour in the healthy participants. A reduction in sleepiness, following CPAP treatment occurred in patients with OSA, using the ESS (11.2 ± 5.5-4.7 ± 5.0 points, P < 0.001) and the VAS (50.2 ± 3.0-21.9 ± 26.5 mm, P < 0.001). There was no significant change in sleepiness, in healthy participants using the ESS (3.91 ± 3.14-3.34 ± 3.27 points (P < 0.48) or the VAS (15.58 ± 21.21-12.05 ± 14.75 mm, (P < 0.44). A Likert scale showed that the VAS was easier to use compared to ESS in visit 1 (VAS: 8.7 ± 1.9 points, ESS: 7.7 ± 2.6 points, (P < 0.001), and visit 2 (VAS: 9.5 ± 1.4 points, ESS: 8.6 ± 1.5 points, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION These preliminary results suggest that the VAS can detect a change in sleepiness after CPAP treatment in patients with OSA and that the VAS was also easier to use compared to ESS.

用于评估阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者和健康参与者轻度嗜睡的视觉模拟量表。

动机 研究表明 Epworth 嗜睡量表 (ESS) 的临床有效性较差,因为它的项目和文化适用性不明确。本研究旨在调查与 ESS 相比,视觉模拟量表 (VAS) 在评估嗜睡方面的功效。方法 32 名阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停 (OSA) 患者和 32 名健康参与者完成了相隔 1 个月的两次访问,在此期间他们完成了 ESS 和 VAS。诊断为 OSA 的患者在就诊之间接受持续气道正压通气 (CPAP) 治疗。使用皮尔逊相关性和接受者操作特征下的面积研究了 OSA 患者和健康参与者的 ESS 和 VAS 评分之间的一致性。结果 OSA 患者的(平均值 ± 标准差)氧饱和度指数为 18.5 ± 5.7 个事件/小时和 1 个。健康参与者每小时 7 ± 1.0 个事件。使用 ESS(11.2 ± 5.5-4.7 ± 5.0 分,P < 0.001)和 VAS(50.2 ± 3.0-21.9 ± 26.5 mm,P < 0.001),OSA 患者在 CPAP 治疗后嗜睡减少。在使用 ESS (3.91 ± 3.14-3.34 ± 3.27 分 (P < 0.48) 或 VAS (15.58 ± 21.21-12.05 ± 14.75 mm,(P < 0.44)) 的健康参与者中,困倦没有显着变化。表明与 ESS 相比,VAS 在访问 1 中更易于使用(VAS:8.7 ± 1.9 分,ESS:7.7 ± 2.6 分,(P < 0.001)和访问 2(VAS:9.5 ± 1.4 分,ESS:8.6 ± 1.5 分,P < 0.001). 结论 这些初步结果表明,VAS 可以检测 OSA 患者在 CPAP 治疗后嗜睡的变化,并且与 ESS 相比,VAS 也更易于使用。健康参与者每小时 0 个事件。使用 ESS(11.2 ± 5.5-4.7 ± 5.0 分,P < 0.001)和 VAS(50.2 ± 3.0-21.9 ± 26.5 mm,P < 0.001),OSA 患者在 CPAP 治疗后嗜睡减少。在使用 ESS (3.91 ± 3.14-3.34 ± 3.27 分 (P < 0.48) 或 VAS (15.58 ± 21.21-12.05 ± 14.75 mm,(P < 0.44)) 的健康参与者中,困倦没有显着变化。表明与 ESS 相比,VAS 在访问 1 中更易于使用(VAS:8.7 ± 1.9 分,ESS:7.7 ± 2.6 分,(P < 0.001)和访问 2(VAS:9.5 ± 1.4 分,ESS:8.6 ± 1.5 分,P < 0.001). 结论 这些初步结果表明,VAS 可以检测 OSA 患者在 CPAP 治疗后嗜睡的变化,并且与 ESS 相比,VAS 也更易于使用。健康参与者每小时 0 个事件。使用 ESS(11.2 ± 5.5-4.7 ± 5.0 分,P < 0.001)和 VAS(50.2 ± 3.0-21.9 ± 26.5 mm,P < 0.001),OSA 患者在 CPAP 治疗后嗜睡减少。在使用 ESS (3.91 ± 3.14-3.34 ± 3.27 分 (P < 0.48) 或 VAS (15.58 ± 21.21-12.05 ± 14.75 mm,(P < 0.44)) 的健康参与者中,困倦没有显着变化。表明与 ESS 相比,VAS 在访问 1 中更易于使用(VAS:8.7 ± 1.9 分,ESS:7.7 ± 2.6 分,(P < 0.001)和访问 2(VAS:9.5 ± 1.4 分,ESS:8.6 ± 1.5 分,P < 0.001). 结论 这些初步结果表明,VAS 可以检测 OSA 患者在 CPAP 治疗后嗜睡的变化,并且与 ESS 相比,VAS 也更易于使用。
