Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Epworth Sleepiness Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 10
This scale measures daytime sleepiness. By scoring the level of sleepiness in different situations, it can help evaluate whether a patient has Obstructive Sleep Apnea or other sleep disorders.Scores range from 0-24. Higher scores indicate more severe daytime sleepiness.
Secondary Outcomes
- Apnea-Hypopnea Index(day 1 and day 10)
