Examining the Impact of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness on Utility Scores in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and/or Narcolepsy in Five European Countries
Abstract:Background: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a cardinal symptom of narcolepsy and affects many patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). EDS is associated with reduced quality of life, increased accident risk, and poor workplace performance. Given the impact of EDS, the ability to predict health-related utility from sleepiness is valuable for examining the cost effectiveness of novel treatments. The aim of this study was to examine the association between EDS and EQ-5D in patients with OSA and/or narc… Show more
