- Abstract
Objective: Research on the effects of sleep on health and quality of life is ongoing. As part of this study, we aim to evaluate the role of sleep disorders associated with modifiable or non-modifiable risk factors in stroke aetiology. Material and Methods: A total of 137 individuals participated in the study. After an ischemic stroke, we compared the patients' sleep quality and duration in the last month with a control group that had not had a stroke with similar classical risk factors. For this, we used simple sleep questionnaires. Results: The total scores of the participants on the Epworth Sleepiness and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale were statistically different between the groups. The total score of the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) and the rates of the Stanford Sleepiness Scale were statistically different between the patient and control groups. According to the total scores of the BQ, 40.0% (n=28) of the patient group and 16.4% (n=11) of the control group were found to be at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our study supports that poor sleep quality, short sleep duration, and increased risk of OSA play a directly proportional role in the development of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, our patients' high frequency of OSA was associated with short sleep duration. Conclusion: With this study, we would like to remind you again that the importance of sleep disorders in the etiology of stroke and its treatment should not be forgotten.
