TL;DR
Treatment with CPAP improves QOL in patients with OSA and their bed partners, as measured by the SF-36 and the SAQLI, and significant improvements were observed in the subjects in role-physical, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health domains.
Abstract
OSA results in impaired QOL in both the patients and their bed partners. Treatment with CPAP improves QOL, as measured by the SF-36 and the SAQLI.

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.
New England Journal of MedicineThe Occurrence of Sleep-Disordered Breathing among Middle-Aged Adults
10,226 Citations1993Terry Young, Mari Palta +4 more
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.
SLEEPReliability and Factor Analysis of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale
2,138 Citations1992Murrayb W. Johns
Factor analysis of item scores showed that the ESS had only one factor for 104 medical students and for 150 patients with various sleep disorders, and the questionnaire had a high level of internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha.

535 Citations2001Ferrán Barbé, Lola R. Mayoralas +14 more
The available evidence supports the notion that CPAP is an effective symptomatic treatment for patients with the sleep apneahypopnea syndrome, and a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was designed to evaluate the short-term effects of CPAP on quality of life, objective sleepiness, cognitive function, and arterial blood pressure in nonsleepy patients with a pathologic apnehypopna index.
NeurologyThe Epworth Sleepiness Scale may not reflect objective measures of sleepiness or sleep apnea
392 Citations1999Ronald D. Chervin, Michael S. Aldrich
The data suggest that the subjectively derived ES cannot be used as a surrogate for the objectively determined Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSL) or measures of sleep apnea severity.

These findings provide further evidence for clinically significant benefits to daytime function from CPAP and no significant enhancements to cognitive function or psychosocial well being were found in this small sample.

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.
SLEEPRelationship Between Sleepiness and General Health Status
255 Citations1996Berta Briones, Nancy L. Adams +7 more
The variation of MOS scores with sleepiness, unrelated to age or chronic disease, suggests that measures of general health status may be broadly influenced by sleepiness and sleep quality and general health measures may be useful in the evaluations of patients with sleep disorders.

The Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index is expected to capture aspects of quality of life important to sleep apnea patients, such as cognitive function, performance, and mood, that could be improved with appropriate treatment of sleep-disordered breathing.

This study looks at three well recognized quality of life measures in OSA, before and after NCPAP therapy; the Short Form 36 (SF‐36), Functional Limitations Profile (FLP), and the EuroQol (EQ‐5D); the results were compared with data from normal populations.

The elimination of snoring and OSA in these patients was associated with an improvement in the quality of their bed partners' sleep, as indicated by improved sleep efficiency and continuity, even when the spouses had been habitually exposed to snoringand OSA.

It is concluded that the SAQLI has excellent measurement properties for an evaluative instrument, and beginning evidence of validity as a discriminative index, and will be an important outcome measure in clinical trials.
