Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of poor sleep quality and to describe its predictors in diabetic patients having chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins treated with cyanoacrylate glue. METHODS: This single-center, prospective cohort study was conducted between March 2018 and March 2021. A total of 103 patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic venous insufficiency (CEAP classification at stages C3-C6) treated with cyanoacrylate glue for varicose veins were recruited. A questionnaire form, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Berlin Questionnaire, and Diagnostic Criteria for Restless Legs Syndrome were used for data collection. A Doppler USG assessment was performed in the first clinical examination. RESULTS: Almost half of the participants had had diabetes mellitus for 10 years or more, and 52% had good glucose control. Among the study sample, 61% were poor sleepers, 47% of the participants were RLS positive, and 51% had a high risk of sleep apnea. RLS, HbA1c, and dressing at home had positive associations with poor sleep quality (p < 0.05) on the fifth day after the peripheral embolization. One month after the operation, participants had better sleep quality; however, there were no statistically significant differences between the assessments of RLS and the risk of OSA compared to the fifth day after the operation (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This prospective study showed that restless legs syndrome, a high level of HbA1c, and dressed injection area of the skin are associated with poor sleep quality in patients with diabetes having chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins treated with cyanoacrylate glue. Additionally, participants had better sleep quality 1 month after the peripheral embolization compared to the fifth day after the operation.
