Abstract

Objective: Diagnosis of sleep disorders (SD) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) in school-age pediatric population and finding their relevant factors are important to prevent disease dependent complications such as growth-development retardation, loss of neurocognitive function and school failure. The aim of the present study was to determine whether there is a relationship between socio-demographic characteristics, SD and RLS in school children. Materials and Methods: Middle and high school students aged between 13 and 17 were questioned about socio-demographic data, RLS survey and pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ). Results: The study included 3.568 appropriately completed surveys. The total PSQ score was 4.3±3.3 for female students and 3.9±3.3 for male students. PSQ score was ≥8 in 326 of 1.992 female students (16.4%), in 215 of 1.576 male students (13.6%) and in 541 of all students (15.2%). The RLS frequency was 4.4% for all students, 4.6% for female students and 4.1% for male students. Total PSQ score, snoring, sleepiness and behavior subscale score had significant correlation with RLS in both genders. A weak but significant correlation was found between PSQ total score and BMI Z score (r=0.256, p

Özet

Amaç: Okul çağındaki çocuklarda uyku bozuklukları (UB) ve huzursuz bacaklar sendromunun (HBS) tanısını koymak ve ilişkili faktörleri saptamak bu hastalıklara bağlı büyüme geriliği, nörobilişsel kayıp ve okul başarısızlığı gibi komplikasyonları önlemek için önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı okul çağındaki çocuklarda sosyo-demografik özellikler, UB ve HBS arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaşları 13 ile 17 arasında değişen ortaokul ve lise öğrencilerinin sosyo-demografik verileri kaydedildi ve bu öğrencilere HBS ve pediyatrik uyku ölçeği (PUÖ) anketleri uygulandı. Bulgular: Uygun doldurulmuş 3,568 anket incelemeye alındı. Total PSS skoru kız öğrencilerde 4,3±3,3, erkek öğrencilerde ise 3,9±3,3 saptandı. Bin yüz doksan iki kız öğrencinin 326’sında (%16,4), 1,576 erkek öğrencinin 215’inde (%13,6), toplam öğrenci sayısının ise 541’inde (%15,2) PSS skoru ≥8 saptandı. HBS sıklığı genel olarak %4,4, kız öğrencilerde %4,6 ve erkek öğrencilerde %4,1 olarak saptandı. Her iki cinsiyette total PUÖ skoru, horlama, uykululuk ve davranışsal alt başlıklarla HBS arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptandı. Total PUÖ skoru ile vücut kitle indeksi Z-skoru arasında zayıf fakat anlamlı bir farklılık saptandı (r=0,256, p
