Reported daytime sleepiness in relation to orthopnea, restless legs and nocturia in patients evaluated for suspected obstructive sleep apnea
Daytime sleepiness-associated symptoms were more strongly correlated with reported levels of restless legs, nocturia, and orthopnea than with the AHI score. If restless legs, orthopnea, or nocturia are present, they should be evaluated during the clinical workup for suspected OSA.
