Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in diabetes mellitus patients. This reveals the importance of evaluation of the risk factors of sleep apnea in diabetic patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of the OSA among Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted a cross sectional study on randomly selected 173 diabetic patients aged 30 to 65. We assessed the OSA with the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Further information was demographic and anthropometric characteristics plus metabolic profile. Of all, 122 (74%) patients were at high risk for OSA. Patients at high risk for OSA were older and had higher BMI, waist circumference, neck circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In addition, men were significantly at a higher risk for OSA than women. Logistic regression revealed that age, male sex and neck circumference were independent predictors of risk for OSA. Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus are at high risk for OSA.

Introduction: Sleep disorders are very important in pilots due to complications of its impact on flight safety and health of flight personnel and passengers and also and effects of risk factors of Pilot jobs (stress caused by passenger's responsibility) on the onset of sleep. The prevalence of sleep disorders using standardized questionnaires in mentioned society and the substructure studies and performance measures for public health promotion and prevention of complications of these disorders are provided. This study investigated sleep disorders in the Iranian private airline pilots and factors influencing these disorders and comparison with non-flight personnel has been done.
Materials and Methods:
This study historical cohort was done on ground staff and flight crew personnel of private airlines that have been randomly selected. All participants were asked to complete two standard questionnaires ISI (insomnia) and ESS (daily excessive sleepiness review). Daily Excessive sleepiness is considered in ESS> 10 and insomnia in 8ISI.
Results:
In this study the relationship between insomnia and two variables, age over 50 years (pv: 0/005 year) and more than 20 years of experience (pv: 0/020) is also significant.
Conclusion:
In this study, daily excessive sleepiness was highly prevalent among pilots. Also complained of insomnia, particularly difficulty initiating sleep, frequent awakening during sleep and waking up too early in the morning were common complaints among pilots.
Keywords: sleep disorders, insomnia, Flight crew, daily excessive sleepiness.

Background: Residency is a challenging part of medical training among different specialties. Long work hours and shift work and the consequent sleep deprivation have several adverse effects on patient care and residents themselves. The aim of this study was to investigate sleep quality and associated factors in medical residents in a major teaching hospital in Iran.
Methods: Two hundred and fifty residents from different surgical and medical specialties were enrolled
in the study. Demographic questionnaire along with the Persian version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality
Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaires were administered to the subjects.
Results: Mean Global PSQI score was 6.06 ±2.68, which is higher than the mean score of general urban
adult population of Tehran. More than half (55.8%) of residents had a global PSQI score greater than 5.
ISI scores had a significant correlation with PSQI scores (r=0.717, p value<0.001). Multivariate Regression
analysis was conducted using age, age of the youngest child, academic level, number of overnight
duties, average daytime duty extent, total time of extra shifts and specialty as predictive factors.
Number of overnight duties was the only significant predictor of PSQI score in this model. (RP

P= 0.890,
df=7, F= 5.78, p-value=0.036)
Conclusion: A great percentage of residents had poor sleep quality. Number of overnight duties was the key factor associated with sleep quality. Our findings support the need for duty hour reform in residency programs in Iran. |
