Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of sleep disorders and the relevant determinants in a cohort of primary Sj?gren’s syndrome (pSS) patients. Methods: One hundred and eighty-six pSS patients were included in the study, who were admitted to Peking University People’s Hospital and met the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI).Depression, anxiety were evaluated by patient health questionnaire (PHQ)-9,generalized anxiety disorder(GAD)-7, respectively. The demographic and clinical data were also recorded.Disease activity and damage were evaluated with the European League Against Rheumatism Sj?gren’s syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI). According to the PSQI score>7, the pSS patients were divided into 152 cases of sleep disorder group and 34 cases of normal sleep group. Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, independent samples t test, Spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence of sleep disturbance (PSQI>7) was 81.7% (152 / 186) in the pSS patients, and 52.7% (98/186) had moderate or severe sleep disorders (PSQI≥11). The mean PSQI score of sleep disordered group was (12.29±3.30), while the normal sleep group PSQI score was (5.50±1.20). The PSQI score, PHQ-9 score and GAD-7 score in the sleep-disordered group were significantly higher than those in the normal sleep group (P=0.000, 0.035, 0.031). The PSQI score in the sleep disordered group were significantly higher than those in the normal sleep group in seven aspects: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, hypnotic drug use and daytime dysfunction. All of them had statistical significance. According to the results of Spearman correlation analysis, PSQI had significantly positive correlation with course of disease, anxiety, depression score (r=0.151, 0.240, 0.421, P<0.05), but negatively correlated with C3,C4 (r=-0.021, -0.235, P<0.05). Logistic analysis identified the course of disease(OR=2.809, 95%CI: 1.21-6.52)and PHQ-9 score(OR=1.422, 95%CI: 1.04-1.94)as predictors of sleep disorders. Conclusion: The incidence of sleep disorder in the pSS patients was higher, which was closely related to the course of disease, anxiety, depression and other factors. It is critical to assess and manage comprehensively the disease.
