Apnoeic and Hypopnoeic Load in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: Correlation with Epworth Sleepiness Scale.

CONCLUSION: AHI does not correlate with ESS. Younger age, longer apnoea, stage 1 and REM sleep were independently related to higher ESS though the correlations were weak. Apnoea load should be taken into account when determining OSA severity. PMID: 30019066 [PubMed - in process]
