Sleep quality and clinical correlates in patients on maintenance dialysis.

摘要: Background: Sleep quality is a subject of increasing interest to clinicians caring for dialysis patients. Self-assessed sleep disturbances have been associated with life outcomes. The goal this study was identify clinical and laboratory parameters that are independently overall among prevalent Methods: Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) the Problems Index (SPI), questionnaire derived from Medical Outcomes Study, were administered 71 patients 68 subjects without known kidney disease (control group). ESS SPI item responses between 2 groups compared. items also aggregated into score. Multivariate linear regression analyses scores used factors poor sleep. Results: score not significantly different groups. However, demonstrated impaired subjective in compared control subjects. In addition, quality, as measured by score, lower group (41 vs. 47, p< 0.001). multivariate analyses, male gender (p = 0.006), history coronary artery 0.003), high phosphate level 0.05). Conclusion: This demonstrates global substantially impaired. Poor gender, serum level, modifiable factor. Future studies needed examine relationship
