Abstract

Objectives: Sleep disorders and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) are increasingly important issues observed in neurological disorders. However, the correlation between these diseases has not been sufficiently studied. Thus, we discuss the correlation between sleep disorders and the clinical features of NPH.
Methods: Overall, 40 patients with idiopathic NPH were included in the study. To evaluate the sleep disorders and psychiatric problems, surveys were administered, including the 36-Item Short Form Survey, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Berlin Questionnaire, STOP-Bang Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, and the REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire. To evaluate the severity of dementia and ataxia, all of the patients completed the Korean mini-mental state examination; Korea frontal assessment battery score, amd unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale-motor scores before and after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. The Pearson’s chi-square test, independent Student’s t-test, Mann?Whitney U test, and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between sleep disorders and symptom improvement after CSF drainage.
Results: Of the 40 patients, 21 patients had poor sleep quality (PSQI>5), 8 patients had insomnia (ISI≥8), 11 patients had daytime sleepiness (ESS≥11), 9 (STOP-Bang≥3) to 13 (Berlin≥2 categories) patients had sleep apnea, 13 patients were anxious (HAS≥8), and 27 patients were depressed (HDS≥8). A linear regression analysis showed that sleep apnea was significantly correlated with cognitive function, and insomnia was correlated with cognitive, motor, and frontal lobe functions. Additionally, patients with severe sleep apnea demonstrated a greater recovery of cognitive function after CSF drainage.
Conclusions: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to the clinical symptoms and treatment effectiveness of NPH. The diagnosis and proper treatment of OSA is expected to improve the prognosis of patients with NPH.
