Journal Title: Türk Uyku Tıbbı Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the frequency and severity of restless legs syndrome in patients with asthma and the effect of the disease on sleep quality. Materials and Methods: Forty-three patients followed by asthma and 30 healthy people were included in the study. The diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome was made according to the criteria of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group. Excessive daytime sleepiness scores were determined according to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) the sleep quality and according to the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) the insomnia was determined. Results: Male/female rate in the asthmatic group was 1/8, and the mean age was 48.88 years. The healthy control group was selected to be gender and age-matched. Restless Legs syndrome was found 25.58% (n=11) in the asthmatic group and 16.7% (n=5) in the control group, and it was also not statistically significant. The number of asthmatic patients with ESS ≥10 was six, while there was one person in the control group, and it was not statistically significant. According to the PSQI values, there was a significant difference between the asthmatic group and the control group (p<0.001); when ISI values were examined, there was no statistically significant difference between them. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that the sleep quality deteriorated at high rates in the asthmatic group. However, as expected in asthmatic patients, Restless Legs syndrome, insomnia, and incidence of excessive daytime sleepiness were not significantly higher than the control group.
