Objectively assessed sleep quality parameters in Multiple Sclerosis at home: Association to disease, disease severity and physical activity
Sleep Medicine(2024)
摘要
Background
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune, neurodegenerative disease that affects regular mobility and leads predominantly to physical disability. Poor sleep quality, commonly reported in MS patients, impacts their physical activity (PA). Accelerometers monitor 24-h activity patterns, offering insights into disease progression in daily life.
Objective
To test if the sleep quality variables of MS patients, as assessed with wrist-worn accelerometers, differ from those of controls and are associated with PA and disease severity variables.
Methods
Seven-day raw accelerometer data collected from 40 MS patients and 24 controls was processed using an open-source GGIR package, from which variables of sleep quality (sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep regularity index (SRI), intradaily variability (IV)) and PA (of different intensities: inactivity, light (LPA), moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA)) were analyzed. The variables were compared between the two study groups and in MS patients, correlation tested associations among the variables of sleep quality, PA, and disease severity (assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale, EDSS).
Results
Sleep efficiency was the only variable that differed significantly between MS patients and controls (lower in MS, p = 0.01). Both SRI (positively) and IV (negatively) correlated with the time spent in LPA and MPA. WASO correlated negatively with inactivity.
Conclusion
This is one of the few studies with a wrist-worn accelerometer that shows a difference in sleep efficiency between MS patients and controls and, in MS, an association of sleep quality variables with PA variables.
