Abstract
Background: One of the least studied symptoms of Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are quality of sleep and Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA). The aim of this study was to find the correlations between qualities of sleep, depression, BODE Index and quality of life in COPD patients.
Materials and Methods: 52 stable COPD patients were recruited according to GOLD 2013 guidelines as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Hindi versions of four questionnaires were administered - The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ 9) and the St. George Respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and the patients were assessed for quality of sleep, depression and quality of life respectively. 6 minute walk tests and Pulmonary function tests was performed as per American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines.
Results: In the sample of 52 patients there were 43 males and 9 females, with mean age 57.01(+/-9.27). All patients had affected quality of sleep and 5.76% indicative of OSA. There were significant correlations between the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Patient Health Questionnaire 9, the St. George Respiratory questionnaire and BODE Index (p value < or = 0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of affected quality of sleep is high in COPD and there is a significant correlation between quality of sleep, depression, BODE Index and quality of life in COPD patients.
