Key Points

Higher Epworth Sleepiness Scores are linked to lower CPAP compliance rates in obstructive sleep apnea patients, indicating significant behavioral implications.
In a cohort of obstructive sleep apnea patients, a notable disparity in CPAP compliance was found, especially in those with elevated sleepiness scores.
Analysis involved correlation assessment between Epworth Sleepiness scores and CPAP usage among subjects diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions, as improving sleepiness perceptions may enhance CPAP adherence in patients.
