Association of Glaucoma with Poor Quality of Sleep in an Ethiopian Glaucoma Population - A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • * A study in Ethiopia with 200 glaucoma patients and 201 non-glaucoma participants found that 82.5% of glaucoma patients experienced poor sleep, significantly higher than the 55.7% in the non-glaucoma group.
  • * Factors contributing to poor sleep in glaucoma patients included older age, depression, visual impairment, and severe stages of the disease, emphasizing a need for better management strategies.

Article Abstract

Background: Glaucoma is a group of ocular disorders characterized by progressive optic nerve damage resulting in irreversible visual field defects. Poor quality of sleep in glaucoma patients could be explained by the reduction of the light input to the circadian system as a result of damage to photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the retina. Information is limited on the association of poor quality of sleep with glaucoma in general and the Ethiopian glaucoma population in particular.

Objective: The study aimed to explore the association between poor quality of sleep and glaucoma at a Tertiary Eye Care Center in Ethiopia.

Methods: An institutional-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 glaucoma and 201 non-glaucoma participants recruited by systematic random sampling. Each group was administered with a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Stata-14 was employed for data analysis; an independent -test was used to show the statistical difference in the global mean PSQI score for the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was applied to identify factors associated with poor quality of sleep. Statistical significance was declared at a 95% confidence interval and a -value of <0.05.

Results: The prevalence of poor quality of sleep was 82.5% among the glaucoma population, which statistically differed (<0.001) from the non-glaucomatous population (55.7%). Poor quality of sleep in glaucoma was associated with older age (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=4.4, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-5.4), depression (AOR=2.9, 95% CI: 1.1-7.3), visual impairment (AOR=3.9, 95% CI: 1.3-12.3) and severe glaucoma (AOR=2.5, 95% CI: 1.1-5.9).

Conclusion And Recommendation: Poor quality of sleep was significantly higher in the glaucoma population compared to their non-glaucoma control. It was associated with older age, depression, visual impairment and advanced glaucoma. Incorporating psychiatric counseling into the existing glaucoma follow-up was recommended.
