Abstract

We examined associations of different sleep disturbance symptoms with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in 153 adults with Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD patients reported more snoring, sleep inadequacy, daytime somnolence, and sleep maintenance problems than the general population (p<0.001). Symptoms having the broadest and strongest unique associations with generic HRQOL (8 scales; 2 composites of SF-36) were daytime somnolence (5 scales; 1 composite), sleep initiation (8 scales; 2 composites), and awakening short of breath or with headache (6 scales; 2 composites) (p’s<0.05). Associations of selected sleep disturbance symptoms – some unanticipated – suggest that assessing specific symptoms is worthwhile in clinical care.
