A Prediction Nomogram Combining Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Other Clinical Parameters to Predict Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Hypertension

Figure 2

Proposed nomogram for OSA prediction (e.g., a resident with ESS = 10, BMI = 30, neck circumference = 42, snoring, no observed apnea, the total point is 140 read from the above nomogram, and the corresponding risk of OSA is 0.90 [90%]). OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; BMI, body mass index; ESS, Epworth sleepiness scale; NC, neck circumference.
