Polysomnographic correlates of self-and caregiver-reported sleep problems in post-stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-stroke sleep disorders (PSSD) are under-reported and under-treated, despite their impact on recovery, quality of life, and post-stroke depression. Although polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosis, its limited availability leads to underdiagnosis.

Aims

To assess the prevalence of PSSD based on patient- and caregiver-reported data, and to evaluate their concordance with findings from overnight PSG in post-stroke patients.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (1 month to 1 year post-onset) were assessed. Sleep-related history was obtained from patients and caregivers. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), risk of obstructive sleep
