Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease in which apneahypopnea attacks occur during sleep and is characterized by a reduction in blood oxygen saturation during sleep. The gold standard diagnostic method is polysomnography (PSG).However, PSG is a time-consuming method that is expensive and requires special equipment, and care has to be taken in patient selection for PSG. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) in predicting OSA through comparisons with PSG.
