Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the anxiety and its effect on the sleep quality in patients with cerebral infarction and sleep-disordered breathing. Methods149 cerebral infarction patients were divided as 95 without sleep-disordered breathing and 54 with sleep-disordered breathing. They were evaluated with Hamilton Anxiety scale (HAMA) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). ResultsPatients with sleep-disordered breathing showed higher HAMA overall score and factor scores of somatic anxiety and psychic anxiety（P<0.001）. In the factors of somatic anxiety, the scores of sensing, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and autonomic nerve system were higher in patients with sleep-disordered breathing than those without sleep-disordered breathing （P<0.05）. In the factors of psychic anxiety, the scores of anxious mood, tension, fears, insomnia, depressed mood were higher in patients with sleep-disordered breathing（P<0.05）. PSQI overall score and all factor scores were also higher in patients with sleep-disordered breathing（P<0.001）. HAMA overall score as well as psychic anxiety and somatic anxiety scores were closely correlated with the PSQI overall score （P<0.001）. Somatic anxiety score was correlated with subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbance and daily dysfunction scores （P<0.05）. Psychic anxiety score was correlated with all the dimension scores of PSQI （P<0.01）. ConclusionCerebral infarction patients with sleep-disordered breathing appeared anxiety and worse sleep quality than patients without sleep-disordered breathing. Anxiety is closely related with sleep quality.
