埃普沃思嗜睡量表（ESS）要求患者估计他们在久坐不动的情况下打瞌睡或入睡的可能性，已被提议作为一种快速，廉价的评估嗜睡的方法。我们分析了60例（34名女性）疑似日间过度嗜睡的患者的ESS恐惧、多次睡眠潜伏期测试（MPEST）的平均睡眠潜伏期和嗜睡严重程度的主观评估之间的关系。ESS的平均评分为14.2+/-5.9分，MPERS的平均评分为8.3+/-5.2分。ESS评分与MMP 3评分呈负相关，但不强（rho =-0.37，p = 0.0042），ESS评分14分及以上预测MMP 3的平均睡眠潜伏期较低。ESS评分与患者抱怨嗜睡的程度相关，可能是有用的，因为患者的抱怨和他们对MPEG4的客观发现之间的联系是难以捉摸的。版权所有（C）1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), which asks patients to estimate the likelihood that they would doze off or fall asleep in sedentary situations, has been proposed to be a quick, inexpensive way to assess sleepiness. We analyzed relations among ESS scares, mean sleep latencies on the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), and subjective assessments of severity of sleepiness in 60 patients (34 women) with suspected excessive daytime sleepiness. Mean scores were 14.2+/-5.9 on the ESS and 8.3+/-5.2 minutes on the MSLT. ESS scores correlated negatively, but not strongly, with MSLT scores (rho = -0.37, p = 0.0042) and ESS scores of 14 and above predicted a low mean sleep latency on the MSLT. The ESS score correlated with the degree to which patients complained of sleepiness and may be useful as an otherwise elusive link between patients' complaints and their objective findings on MSLT.
