Abstract

Objective: Sleep problems, which may also affect mortality, frequently occur in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but few studies have addressed sleep problems due to the restless legs syndrome (RLS). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and severity of RLS and associated clinical and laboratory parameters in COPD patients without accompanying disease. Material and Methods: Fifty male COPD patients without accompanying disease and 20 male controls were enrolled to the study. RLS and RLS severity were assessed with a standard international questionnaire. Clinical and laboratory parameters which may be associated with RLS were investigated in COPD patients. Results: No statistically significant difference was found in the prevalence (COPD: 24%, controls: 10%) and severity of RLS. RLS family history was reported in 16% of COPD patients. No significant association existed between presence and severity of RLS and clinical and laboratory parameters. H A higher proportion of inhaled anticholinergic therapy was reported in COPD patients with RLS (11/12 vs 22/38; p

Özet

Amaç: Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH) hastalarında mortaliteyi etkileyebilen uyku problemleri sık görülmektedir, ancak KOAH hastalarında huzursuz bacaklar sendromu (HBS) kaynaklı uyku sorunları ile ilgili çok az sayıda çalışma vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ek hastalığı olmayan KOAH hastalarında HBS sıklık ve şiddeti ile ilişkili klinik ve laboratuar parametreleri değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ek hastalık öyküsü olmayan KOAH tanılı 50 erkek hasta ve 20 gönüllü sağlıklı erkek çalışmaya alındı. Hastalar uluslararası standart anket sorularıyla HBS varlığı ve şiddeti açısından tarandı. KOAH’lı hastalarda HBS varlığı ve şiddeti ile ilişkili olabilecek klinik ve laboratuar parametreleri araştırıldı. Bulgular: HBS sıklığı (KOAH: %24, kontrol grubu: %10) ve şiddeti açısından istatistiksel anlamlı fark saptanmadı. KOAH hastalarının %16’sında HBS açısından pozitif aile öyküsü saptandı. HBS varlığı ve şiddeti ile klinik ve laboratuvar parametreleri arasında herhangi bir ilişki saptanmadı. HBS saptanan KOAH hastalarında daha fazla oranda inhale antikolinerjik kullanımı saptandı (11/12 ve 22/38; p
