TL;DR
MSLT is better than ESS in the measurement of EDS in relation to the severity of OSAS in clinical patients, and it is found that the severe group had significantly shorter mean sleep latency than the moderate and mild groups.
Abstract

SLEEPA New Method for Measuring Daytime Sleepiness: The Epworth Sleepiness Scale
17,210 Citations1991Murray W. Johns
The development and use of a new scale, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), is described, which is a simple, self-administered questionnaire which is shown to provide a measurement of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.

The prevalence of undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing is high among men and is much higher than previously suspected among women, and is associated with daytime hypersomnolence.

It is found that the occurrence of a wide range of catastrophic phenomena are influenced by sleep-related processes in ways heretofore not fully appreciated and occur most often at times of day coincident with the temporal pattern of brain processes associated with sleep.

822 Citations2000Murray W. Johns
Three of the most commonly used tests: the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), the maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) and the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) give results that are significantly correlated in a statistical sense, but are not closely related.
SLEEPSleepiness in Different Situations Measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale

The results of nonparametric ANOVA, Spearman correlations, Wilcoxon's t tests, item and factor analysis suggest that individual measurements of SP involve three components of variation in addition to short-term changes over periods of hours or days.

570 Citations2000Ronald D. Chervin
Complaints of fatigue, tiredness, or lack of energy may be as important as that of sleepiness to OSAS patients, among whom women appear to have all such complaints more frequently than men.

It is concluded that SDB is associated with excess sleepiness in community-dwelling, middle-aged and older adults, not limited to those with clinically apparent sleep apnea.
NeurologyThe Epworth Sleepiness Scale may not reflect objective measures of sleepiness or sleep apnea

These subjects built up a sleep debt during the week and extended their duration of sleep at the weekend, and did not rate themselves more sleepy than other types, despite the fact that the results showed a clear link between subjectively evaluated daytime somnolence and sleep debt.

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale score correlated with the degree to which patients complained of sleepiness and may be useful as an otherwise elusive link between patients' complaints and their objective findings on MSLT.

The best predictor of the excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) frequently found inOSAS patients was the nocturnal polygraphic recording of the sleep disturbances and sleep structure anomalies that reflect the brain's overall dysfunction in OSAS.

The aim of this study was to identify factors other than objective sleep tendency associated with scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and conclude that the MSLT and the ESS are not interchangeable.

Data suggest that sleep habits have an important modulatory effect on the level of sleepiness and this effect is lost as the severity of sleep-disordered breathing increases.
PubMedClinical approach to excessive daytime sleepiness.
15 Citations2000José Eduardo Krieger
Objective sleepiness has little been used for the clinical evaluation of sleepiness, and as for many other fundamental human behaviors, it is likely that the sleeping behavior serves other purposes than its primary objective, which distorts the relationship between the observed sleeping behavior and the actual need for sleep.
