Abstract
Aim: In recent years, limited studies have been attempted to characterize the quality of sleep in patients with predialysis CKD, and the evidence has shown that insufficient sleep time or poor-quality sleep lead to the progression of CKD. In this study, we aimed to determine the factors related to poor sleep quality in chronic kidney patients and evaluate the effects of these factors on renal progression. Materials and Methods: Patients with pre-dialysis CKD (E3-E5) over 18 years of age who did not have cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and active infection, started to be followed between June 2015 and November 2015, were included in the study. The sleep quality of these patients was measured using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). At the end of the 4-year follow-up, the primary outcomes of the patients were accepted as ESRD, ESRD + mortality, and progression (25 ml/min reduction in GFR). Results: Of the 179 patients followed in the study, 107 (59.8%) had good sleep quality, 72 (40.2%) had poor sleep quality. In the Binary Logistic Regression analysis performed to detect independent markers of poor sleep quality; old age and female gender were found to be independent predictors of poor sleep quality. It was found that poor sleep quality did not affect renal progression conditions such as ESRD, ESRD + Mortality, and GFR≥ 25 ml/min decrease. Conclusion: As a result, we determined that age and female gender are independent determinants of poor sleep quality and poor sleep quality increases mortality.
