一个新的规模，埃普沃思嗜睡量表（ESS）的开发和使用。 这是一个简单的，自我管理的问卷调查，显示提供了一个测量对象的一般水平的白天嗜睡。 180名成年人回答了ESS，其中包括30名正常男性和女性作为对照组，以及150名患有一系列睡眠障碍的患者。 研究人员对他们在日常生活中常见的八种不同情况下打瞌睡或睡着的可能性进行了评估。 ESS总分显著区分正常受试者与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征、发作性睡病和特发性睡眠过度的患者，ESS评分与多次睡眠潜伏期试验和整夜多导睡眠图中测量的睡眠潜伏期显著相关。 在阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者中，ESS评分与夜间记录的呼吸紊乱指数和最低SaO2显著相关。 单纯打鼾患者的ESS评分与对照组无差异。
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 range of sleep disorders. They rated the chances that they would doze off or fall asleep when in eight different situations commonly encountered in daily life. Total ESS scores significantly distinguished normal subjects from patients in various diagnostic groups including obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, ESS scores were significantly correlated with sleep latency measured during the multiple sleep latency test and during overnight polysomnography. In patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome ESS scores were significantly correlated with the respiratory disturbance index and the minimum SaO2 recorded overnight. ESS scores of patients who simply snored did not differ from controls.
