“…The KESS showed significantly increasing patterns as the scores from the daytime dysfunction domain of the PSQI scores increased. This result indicates that the mean score of the KESS is related with the daytime dysfunction [9,10,20]. Item analysis of the KESS revealed results that were very close to those reported for the original version.…”

“…Higher scores indicate higher subjective sleepiness. The ESS has been translated into more than five different languages, and the validity and reliability in the respective languages have been studied [9][10][11][12][13]. The ESS came from a western country, so a direct translation may have some limitations for use in oriental countries, due to the cultural and economic differences.…”

“…Among global sleep scales, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale [19] is preferred, especially in the UK. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is translated in many different languages offering an excellent choice for international cooperation [20,21,22]. Clinical PD studies presented in this paper focus on alteration in other sleep quality aspects in addition to RBD, while risk/prodromal studies concentrate more on RBD assessment.…”

Background: Enormous effort is being put into the identification and characterization of symptoms that may be used as predictive and progression markers in Parkinson's disease (PD). An impressive number of PD patients and individuals at risk for or in the prodromal stage of PD are currently followed in longitudinal studies; however, there does not exist an overview on the kind of markers evaluated and the assessments used. Methods: Information on the design, sample size, evaluated markers and assessments of 21 studies of the Joint Programme - Neurodegenerative Disease Research BioLoC-PD working group were collected by questionnaire. The studies were classified into at risk/prodromal or clinical PD cohorts. The assessments were grouped into quantitative assessments, investigator-rated assessments, investigator interviews, patient-rated questionnaires and caregiver-rated questionnaires. Results: Compilation of these data revealed an interesting consensus on evaluated markers, but there was an enormous variability of assessments. Furthermore, there is a remarkable similarity in the markers assessed and evaluation methods applied in the risk/prodromal and clinical PD cohorts. Conclusions: The inventory of the longitudinal cohorts that are part of the BioLoC-PD consortium reveals that there is a growing consensus on the markers that should be assessed in longitudinal cohort studies in PD. However, controversy still exists on the specific type of assessment. To allow comparison of data and common analyses it will be essential to harmonize scales and assessment outcomes.

“…The total score, thus, can range from 0 to 24 in which a lower score means less sleepiness. It has been translated and proven for its reliability and validity in several languages, for example Spanish [3], German [4], Italian [5], Norwegian [6], Greek [7], and Turkish [8]. In Asian countries, it was also translated into the Chinese [9] and Japanese languages [10].…”

Epworth sleepiness scale in obstructive sleep disordered breathing: the reliability and validity of the Thai version

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Our Thai version of the ESS showed an excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability. It is able to discriminate between control subjects and OSA patients and to assess the response of treatment; however, it has a weak relationship with the apnea-hypopnea index. Therefore, we recommend use it to combine with more comprehensive clinical evaluation in obstructive sleep disordered breathing patients.

Reliability and validity of a Norwegian version of the Epworth sleepiness scale

Abstract: The Norwegian version of the ESS had acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The association of the ESS items and total score with the MSLT was only fair to moderate, in line with previous studies.
