Burden of impaired sleep quality on work productivity in functional dyspepsia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Impaired sleep quality is common, and can reduce work productivity in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).

Objective

The objective of this article is to evaluate whether there is a direct association between the presence of FD and the severity of impaired sleep quality, and to calculate the economic loss due to the decreased work productivity associated with sleep quality.

Methods

In Study 1, using a web-based survey completed by workers with and without FD, we evaluated impaired sleep quality, work and daily productivity, and the severity of reflux and bowel symptoms. In Study 2, the association between the presence of FD and the severity of impaired sleep quality was validated in a hospital-based cohort.

Results

In both Study 1 and 2, although
