Results: In this study, no significant relationship was found between NVOBS and AHI in OSA patients. Patients with OSA; There was a significant relationship between total score of NVOBS and ESS (r=0.267 p=0.003). There was a significant relationship between the ESS score and the BDI score (r=0.314 p <0.001) and BDI scale (r=0.319 p <0.001) scores.
