Abstract
Objective: Our goal is to determine if there is a correlation between Modified Epworth Sleepiness Scale (M-ESS) scores, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-18 scores, and polysomnography (PSG) outcomes in children.
Study Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Pediatric otolaryngology clinic.
Methods: Charts of consecutive children presenting from July 2021 to July 2023 were reviewed. Demographics, body mass index (BMI), BMI Z score, M-ESS score, OSA-18 score, PSG results, and sleep apnea severity were included. One-way analysis of variance and Pearson/Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated.
Results: Three hundred sixty-seven children were included, 162 (44.1%) girls and 205 (55.9%) boys. Mean patient age was 7.8 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.3-8.3) years. M-ESS score was 6.3 (n = 348, 95% CI: 5.8-6.8), mean OSA-18 score was 56.2 (n = 129, 95% CI: 53.0-59.4). Mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 10.1 (95% CI: 8.7-11.4) events/h, obstructive AHI 9.3 (95% CI: 8.0-12.7) events/h, respiratory distress index 14.6 (95% CI: 8.4-20.8) events/h, and oxygen saturation nadir 89.8% (95% CI: 89.1-90.4). Sixty-two children (17.2%) had mild, 192 (53.5%) moderate, and 105 (29.2%) severe sleep apnea. M-ESS score correlated weakly to AHI (r = .19, P = <.001), and OSA-18 score to oxygen saturation nadir (r = -.16, P = .002). After logistic regression adjusted for age and BMI, neither clinical scores were independently associated with AHI.
Conclusion: M-ESS and OSA-18 scores have a weak correlation with OSA severity in children. More reliable, age-appropriate screening tools are needed in pediatric sleep apnea.
