Factorial Structure

Abstract Introduction Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common symptom present in several clinical, mental and sleep disorders. However, its subjective metrics have been criticized in the literature due to lack of association with disorder severity, or disagreement with objective measures. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a widely used questionnaire to evaluate EDS, however it may not be sufficient as a sole measure to identify cases of somnolence in the general population. Study objectives: To investigate the association between EDS with socio-demographic, body composition and PSG measures in the general population of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods 1,042 participants from a population-based epidemiological study underwent full in-lab PSG, questionnaires (ESS, fatigue, quality of life, depression and anxiety scales), bio impedance, socio-demographic and anthropometric measures at baseline and in the follow-up 9 years later. A univariate linear regression analysis including the whole sample (baseline and follow-up) was performed to analyze predictors of EDS and ESS score in the follow-up was the dependent variable. All variables with a p-value <0.15 were included in an exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis with Varimax rotation) to assess the factorial structure of EDS. Results The results supported a five-factorial structure associated with EDS as follows: Factor 1 - Quality of life (Physical and Psychological domains of WHOQOL), Factor 2 – Fatigue (questions from Chalder Fatigue Scale concerning weakness, tiredness, lack of energy and less strength in the muscles), Factor 3 – PSG – sleep duration (wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, total time spent awake), Factor 4 – PSG – sleep structure (arousal index, N1 and N3 duration), Factor 5 – Body composition (body mass index). PSG variables related to sleep disordered breathing and movement disorders were not associated with EDS. Conclusion EDS measured by ESS was associated with domains other than sleep disorders in the general population. ESS metrics was significantly associated with fatigue and sleep duration.

Prevalent Symptom

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a prevalent symptom among stroke survivors. This symptom is an independent risk factor for stroke and may reduce stroke survivors’ quality of life, cognitive functioning, and daytime functional performance. The lack of a universally accepted definition of EDS makes it difficult to measure EDS and synthesize research. The purpose of this integrative review is to describe poststroke EDS, ascertain conceptual and operational definitions of EDS, identify factors that contribute to EDS in stroke survivors, and explore outcomes associated with EDS in stroke survivors. We searched the following databases: PubMed and MEDLINE (OvidSP 1946—April; Week 2, 2015), Embase (OvidSP 1974—March; Week 1, 2015), and PsycINFO (OvidSP 1967—April; Week 2, 2015). Our search yielded 340 articles, 27 of which met inclusion criteria. The literature reveals EDS to be a multidimensional construct that is operationalized with both subjective and objective measures. Choosing measures that can quantify both the objective and subjective components is useful for gaining a comprehensive understanding of EDS. The antecedents of EDS are stroke, sleep-disordered breathing, reversed Robin Hood syndrome, and depression. The outcomes associated with EDS in stroke patients are serious and negative. Via synthesis of this research, we propose a possible framework for poststroke EDS, which may be of use in clinical practice and in research to identify valid quantifying methods for EDS as well as to prevent harmful outcomes in stroke survivors.

Pupillary Reflex

Patients with glaucoma showed to have higher daytime sleepiness measured by Epworth sleepiness scale. In addition, this symptom was associated with pupillary reflex and polysomnography parameters. These ipRGC functions might be impaired in patients with glaucoma, leading to worse quality of life.
