Sleep quality and predictors of optimal sleep in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: data from a recent-onset cohort

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Optimal sleep is achieved by half of the RA patients and predicted by BMI, patient-reported outcomes, and follow-up.

Study context

Population
Patients with recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from a cohort initiated in 2004, with at least one Medical Outcome Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) application up to December 201978 at cohort entry
Participants
187 patients
Outcome
Optimal sleep (dichotomised variable derived from the quantity of sleep dimension of the MOS-SS) and its predictors
Methodological detailsrecent-onset RA cohort, retrospective chart review, multiple logistic regression
  • Recent-onset RA cohort
  • Retrospective chart review
  • Multiple logistic regression

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Patients with optimal sleep

96 patients

51.3%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

MOS-SS dimensions · first MOS-SS application

Higher scores on the "snoring" and "sleep non-adequacy" MOS-SS dimensions
