Abstract

Background: A significant global cause of disability and mortality is cerebral-vascular stroke. In neuro-rehabilitation, sleep may be of utmost importance. Sleep disruption may also make recovery and stroke outcomes worse. As separate, modifiable risk factors for cerebrovascular stroke, sleep disorders are becoming more well-acknowledged. Aim:To assess the pattern of post-stroke sleep disorders among Egyptian patients. Subjects and Methods: The Suez Canal University hospital's neurology and psychiatry outpatient clinics conducted this case-control research on 43 stroke patients who had experienced a stroke during the previous three months (the Patient Group) and 43 healthy persons (Control Group). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which was also used to evaluate the quality and pattern of sleep, was used to make the diagnosis of sleep disorders based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) criteria. Results: Regarding Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Parasomnias, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (p 0.002 & 0.001, respectively). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) total score showed a significant difference between the two groups, with stroke patients having a higher percentage of poor sleepers (score >5). Conclusion: Significant links exist between sleep problems and stroke. Stroke has been shown to decrease sleep quality and increase the incidence of parasomnias and obstructive sleep apnea.
