“…The main quest items include anthropometric information, years working as a driver, hours driving in a period of 24 h, driving for more than 4 h without resting, days a week that drivers work, number of night shift work by week, sleep hours by day, hours slept in the last 24 h, sleepiness or fatigue while driving, strategies used by bus drivers to keep from falling asleep while driving, place where drivers sleep, experience of accident or near accident while driving, and event hour. To evaluate the presence of sleepiness, we used the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) validated and amended in Peru by Rosales-Mayor et al [23]. Excessive sleepiness was considered when the ESS was higher than 10.…”

“…To our knowledge, this is the first validation of an OP-targeted female-specific instrument for use in China. Given the different language and culture, it was important to take a comprehensive approach to validating the OPAQ-SV [28]. Similar to Silverman who tested the original version, and verified strong psychometric properties [15], we were able to reproduce strong support for the Chinese OPAQ-SV, in terms of reliability and validity in part because of our comprehensive validation procedures.…”

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the osteoporosis assessment questionnaire short version (OPAQ-SV) for Chinese osteoporotic fracture females

The Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire Short Version (OPAQ-SV) was cross-culturally adapted to measure health-related quality of life in Chinese osteoporotic fracture females and then validated in China for its psychometric properties. Cross-cultural adaptation, including translation of the original OPAQ-SV into Mandarin Chinese language, was performed according to published guidelines. Validation of the newly cross-culturally adapted OPAQ-SV was conducted by sampling 234 Chinese osteoporotic fracture females and also a control group of 235 Chinese osteoporotic females without fractures, producing robust content, construct, and discriminant validation results. Major categories of reliability were also met: the Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.975, indicating good internal consistency; the test-retest reliability was 0.80; and principal component analysis resulted in a 6-factor structure explaining 75.847 % of the total variance. Further, the Comparative Fit Index result was 0.922 following the modified model confirmatory factor analysis, and the chi-squared test was 1.98. The root mean squared error of approximation was 0.078. Moreover, significant differences were revealed between females with fractures and those without fractures across all domains (p < 0.001). Overall, the newly cross-culturally adapted OPAQ-SV appears to possess adequate validity and reliability and may be utilized in clinical trials to assess the health-related quality of life in Chinese osteoporotic fracture females.

Objetivos. Describir las diferencias clínicas y polisomnográficas en pacientes obesos y no obesos con diagnóstico del síndrome de apneas-hipopneas del sueño (SAHS). Materiales y métodos. A los pacientes incluidos se les realizó un examen físico, se aplicó la escala de somnolencia de Epworth (ESE) y además se les realizó una polisomnografía. Se consideró obeso si el índice de masa corporal (IMC) era mayor o igual a 30 kg/m 2 . Resultados. Se analizaron 408 pacientes con SAHS, de estos, 119 (47 %) fueron obesos. El SAHS fue leve en 101 (25 %), moderado en 91 (22 %) y severo en 216 (53 %). No hubo diferencias por sexo, edad y puntaje ESE al compararse obesos con no obesos. La diferencias del perímetro cervical y presencia de somnolencia según ESE fue significativamente mayor en obesos. Estos tuvieron mayor comorbilidad en términos de dislipidemia, hipertensión arterial y enfermedad coronaria. De las variables polisomnográficas, los índices de eventos respiratorios fueron mayores en obesos, asimismo fueron peores los valores de saturación de oxígeno. No hubo diferencias en el resto de variables. El análisis de regresión mostró asociación entre la obesidad y la severidad del SAHS. Conclusiones. El SAHS no es una enfermedad limitada a la población obesa, aunque esta última tienen mayor comorbilidad y formas más severas de enfermedad.Palabras clave: Apnea del sueño obstructiva; Obesidad; Transtornos por excesiva somnolencia; Polisomnografía; Perú (fuente: DeCS BIREME). CLINICAL AND POLYSOMNOGRAPHYC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OBESE AND NON-OBESE PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEPAPNEA-HYPOPNEA SYNDROME ABSTRACT Objectives. To describe the clinical and polysomnographyc differences between obese and non-obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) syndrome. Materials and methods. A physical examination, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and a polysomnography were performed to all included patients. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 30 kg/m2. Results. 408 patients with OSAH were analyzed, out of these, 119 (47 %) were obese. OSAH was mild in 101 (25 %), moderate in 91 (22 %) and severe in 216 (53 %). There were no age, sex and EES score differences between obese and non-obese patients. Cervical perimeter and sleepiness prevalence according to the ESS were significant higher in obese population. Obese patients had higher comorbidity related to dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and coronary disease. With respect to the polysomnographyc variables, the indexes of respiratory events and the levels of oxygen saturation were worse in obese patients. There were no differences in the other variables. The regression analysis showed association between obesity and OSAH severity. Conclusions. OSAH is a clinical condition not limited to obese population, although this group has a higher comorbidity and OSAH severity.

Validation and modification of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale in Peruvian population

Abstract: The ESS-VP and ESS-MPV, adapted to adult Peruvian population, are comparable to the original scale, reliable, valid, and change-sensitive. It is proposed that the ESS-MPV should be applied in Peruvian population who do not drive motorized vehicles.
