Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Sleep disorders (SDs) are frequently seen in cirrhotics. Polysomnography (PSG), actigraphy and electroencephalogram (EEG) are common objective methods to diagnose SDs. The most commonly used subjective methods are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of liver transplantation on SDs by using a combination of objective (PSG and EEG) and subjective methods (PSQI and ESS). METHODS: Eighteen cirrhotic patients on a liver transplantation (LTx) waiting list were included in the study. Patient clinical status, biochemical parameters were evaluated. All patients completed validated Turkish forms of the PSQI and ESS before and nine-months after LTx. All patients underwent EEG and PSG before and nine-months after LTx. RESULTS: Eighteen patients with liver cirrhosis (male: 12; 66.7%, mean age: 53.22 ± 10.43 years) were included in the study. Pre-transplant and nine-month post-transplant mean PSQI and ESS scores were 8.4 ± 3.11 and 7.28 ± 3.89; 4.5 ± 2.8 and 4.72 ± 2.91 (p CONCLUSION: This was a pilot study comparing SDs in pre- and post-liver transplant patients by combining subjective and objective methods. Significant SD improvements were found at the ninth month after transplantation.
