Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Quality of life

The Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) will be used to measure quality of life. This instrument will evaluate the physical health component (PHC) and the mental health component (MHC) through the following dimensions: functional capacity, physical aspects, pain, general health status, vitality, social aspects, emotional aspects and mental health.

Time frame: 10 minutes

Daytime sleepiness

The Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) wil measure the subjective daytime sleepiness, assesses the propensity to sleep under inappropriate circumstances. The ESS questionnaire consists of 8 questions about daytime sleepiness in various situations.

Time frame: 5 minutes

Quality of sleep

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is the instrument deployed to evaluate the subjective quality of sleep and the presence of possible disorders. The overall score is formed by the sum of seven components, which can be considered individually, being: 1 - Subjective sleep quality; 2 - sleep latency; 3 - Sleep duration; 4 - Usual efficiency; 5 - Sleep disorders; 6 - Use of sleep medications; 7 - Daytime sleepiness and disturbances during the day. The overall score is formed by the sum of seven components, which can be considered individually, being: 1 - Subjective sleep quality; 2 - sleep latency; 3 - Sleep duration; 4 - Usual efficiency; 5 - Sleep disorders; 6 - Use of sleep medications; 7 - Daytime sleepiness and disturbances during the day. The score is determined by the sum of the seven components, with each answer being given a score between 0 and 3 points. The maximum score of the instrument is 21. The scores\> 5 points indicate poor quality in the sleep pattern.

Time frame: 5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes

Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)

The obstructive Apnea-hypopnea Index is defined as the mean number of obstructive apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep, thus: the occurrence of 5 to 14 events per hour of sleep means presence of mild apnea, 15 to 29 moderate apnea and ≥ 30 severe apnea. The AHI is derived from overnight polysomnography.
