Resumen:
The aim of this study was to compare the results of the day-to-day
self-evaluation of sleep quality by sleep logs with Parkinson's disease
sleep scale (PDSS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Actigraphy was
used as an independent analysis of nighttime activity interfering with
sleep. A total of 71 idiopathic PD patients and 21 age- and sex-matched
normal individuals lacking any type of sleep disturbance were recruited.
Sleep was evaluated by PDSS, 7-d sleep log and actigraphy. Sleep logs
and PDSS showed reduced sleep quality and daytime somnolence scores in
moderate/severe PD patients as compared to healthy controls. Significant
correlations were found between sleep quality in sleep logs and all
domains of PDSS sleep quality, except for the presence of nocturia,
which correlated with nocturnal activity. PD severity and depression
were the only predictors of reduced sleep quality. The retrospective and
day-to-day sleep self-evaluations were coincident. Reduced sleep
quality was related to increased PD severity and depression scores.
