Objective: The Observation and Interview Based Diurnal Sleepiness Inventory (ODSI) is a valid 3-item tool used for assessment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the ODSI in the Turkish language. Methods: Linguistic validation of the ODSI was performed by forward-backward translation. The Turkish version of the ODSI and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were administered in EDS and control groups. Results: The ODSI was tested in 106 older patients. The median age of the patients was 73 (65-89) years and 55.7% were female. The EDS group was older and more dependent on instrumental activities of daily living than the control group. The inter-rater reliability of the ODSI was high (interclass correlation coefficient [ICC]: 0.851, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.540-0.958, p<0.001). Test-retest reliability was also high for the total sample (ICC: 0.871, 95% CI: 0.632-0.959, p<0.001). Positive strong correlations were found with the ESS (Speraman's rho=0.876, 95% bootstrap CI [0.813-0.918], p<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.968 (95% CI: 0.937-0.998), a cutoff score of ≥6, a sensitivity of 94.1%, a specificity of 87.6%, a positive predictive value of 76.55%, and a negative predictive value of 97.2%. Conclusion: Our data validate the ODSI for application in Turkish-speaking populations. The simplicity, reliability, and the apparent lack of relevant influences of cultural background on performance of the 3-item ODSI make it a valuable tool for clinical management and research.
