Abstract

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal sensations in the legs; seen in 10-35% of the elderly. Our objective was to determine the incidence of RLS in the elderly, and to analyze its relationship with clinical and laboratory findings. Materials and Method: Eighty-eight patients with osteoarhritis aged 65 and higher were included in this study. Patients were evaluated according to the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group criteria and the disease severity was rated by using the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group rating scale. The clinical and laboratory findings were evaluated in all patients and a detailed history was obtained. Results: The incidence of RLS was 18.2%. No significant relationship was found between RLS and the clinical and laboratory parameters evaluated. The incidence of RLS was higher in women (75% of the patients were female). Conclusion: We conclude that RLS is a prevalent condition in the elderly and is often under diagnosed.

Özet

Giriş: Huzursuz bacak sendromu (HBS), bacaklarda anormal duyularla karakterize sensorimotor, kronik bir bozukluktur. Yaşlı hastalarda %10-35 arasında görülmektedir. Bu Çalışmanın amacı; yaşlı hastalarda HBS sıklığını belirlemek ve HBS’nin klinik ve laboratuvar özelliklerini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya osteoartrit tanısı alan 65 yaş üzeri 88 hasta alındı. Hastalar, Uluslararası Huzursuz Bacak Sendromu Çalışma Grubu tanı kriterlerine göre değerlendirilerek HBS tanısı konmuş ve hastalık şiddeti Uluslararası Huzursuz Bacak Çalışma Grubu şiddet sorgulama skalası ile değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm hastaların klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları incelenmiş ve öyküleri ayrıntılı olarak sorgulanmıştır. Bulgular: HBS sıklığı %18.2 bulundu. HBS ve diğer klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları arasında ilişki bulunamadı. Ayrıca; kadınlarda HBS görülme yüzdesi daha yüksekti (%75). Sonuç: HBS geriatrik populasyonda sıklıkla ortaya çıkan bir durumdur, fakat genellikle de hastalar yanlış tanılarla izlenebilmektedir.
