Evaluation of Daytime Sleepiness in Hypothyroid Patients

Epworth Sleepiness Scalewas used to measure daytime sleepiness.Results: Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores were 7.3±0.7 in the hypothyroid group and6.4±0.4 in the control group, and there was no significant difference between the groups(p=0.703).

Age, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the all participants were recorded. Thyroid hormonetests and biochemical parameters were examined in the morning.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmadaki amacımız hipotiroidi tanısı almış hastalarda ve sağlıklı kontrol grubunda Epworth uykululuk ölçeğini kullanarak gündüz aşırı uykululuğunu araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yetmiş beşi hipotiroidi, 52’si kontrol grubu olmak üzere 127 kişi ile çalışma tamamlandı. Tüm katılımcıların yaş, boy, kilo, vücut kitle indeksi, bel çevresi, sistolik ve diyastolik kan basıncı kaydedildi. Tiroit hormon testleri ve biyokimyasal parametrelere sabah aç olarak bakıldı. Gündüz aşırı uykululuğu ölçmek için Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği puanları hipotiroidili grupta 7.3±0.7 kontrol grubunda ise 6.4±0.4 olarak bulundu, gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p=0.703). Hipotiroidi olan grupta kontrol grubuna göre kilo (p
