Abstract: Objective To explore the significance of Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS)and micro-arousal index in simple snoring. Methods Polysomnography(PSG)recordings of 358 adults with simple snoring were divided into 3 groups according to ESS: mild group(n=286, ESS≤12), moderate group(n=43, 13≤ESS≤17)and severe group(n=29, 18≤ESS). The apnea hypopnea index(AHI), apnea index(AI), hypopnea index(HI), the lowest oxygen saturation(LSaO2), micro-arousal index(MAI), and body mass index(BMI)were compared. Results The differences in AHI, AI, HI, LSaO2 and BMI were not significant among the 3 groups(P>0.05). Significant differences were observed in MAI between mild and severe groups, moderate and severe groups(U=-8.030, -5.604, P<0.05, respectively). ESS was significantly correlated to MAI(r=0.331, P<0.05). Conclusion MAI and ESS are important to evaluate the severity of simple snoring.

Key words: Epworth sleepiness scale, Snoring, Micro-arousal index
