AU - Jorge, Manuel Y1 - 2011/09/01 UR - //www.qdcxjkg.com/content/38/Suppl_55/p2264.abstract N2 - Objective: This study aims to determine if there is any relationship between daytime sleepiness and risks for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with students' academic performance.Methods: A self-administered validated questionnaire (consisting of Profile, Sleeping habits, Berlin Questionnaire, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale) was distributed to duly enrolled medical students from Level 1 to 6 of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine SY 2009-2010. The general weighted average of every student at the end of the 2nd semester school year 2010 was obtained and correlations were determined.Results: There were 458 (64.4%) students who participated in the study out of the 711 duly enrolled medical students for academic year 2009-2010. Of the participants, 77.3% had abnormal daytime sleepiness ranging from mild to excessive. There was poor correlation between levels of daytime sleepiness and academic performance (Pearsons correlation coefficient 2.5). There was also poor correlation between risk for obstructive sleep apnea and academic performance gauged by using grades of students (Pearsons correlation coefficient 0.86).Conclusion: The present study shows that there is no significant statistical correlation between excessive daytime sleepiness or risk of obstructive sleep apnea and academic performance of medical students as measured by their general weighted average.
