Overview

Prospective cross-sectional study reports urinary symptoms impact sleep quality in chronic venous insufficiency patients, suggesting intervention benefits.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the prevalence of urinary symptoms in patients with chronic venous insufficiency and their effects on sleep quality.
  • Conducted a prospective cross-sectional study with 53 chronic venous insufficiency patients from two hospitals.
  • Assessed urinary symptoms using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire and sleep quality via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
  • Performed correlation analysis to evaluate relationships between urinary symptoms and sleep quality.
  • Nocturnal urination was reported by 50.9% of participants, with 32.1% waking up twice and 18.9% three times per night.
  • Higher ICIQ scores correlated with poorer sleep quality (r = −0.290, p = 0.035).
  • Increased bother scale scores indicated greater sleep impairment (r = 0.570, p < 0.001).
