Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze the related factors and remote diagnosis of sleep disorders in patients with uremia and to provide the basis for clinical intervention measures. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality of 100 patients with uremia. The experimental results show that among 100 patients with uremia, 83 patients (83%) were complicated with sleep disorder, and the average PSQI score was (10.73 ± 1.36). The PSQI score was significantly higher in the elderly, patients with long duration of dialysis, patients with elevated CRP, patients with substandard anemia, and patients with substandard calcium and phosphorus, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The sleep quality of patients with uremia is correlated with depression, age, and penetration age. The worse the sleep quality is, the more severe the depression is. It proved that the sleep quality of dialysis patients is an important factor. Conclusion. Sleep disorder is a common complication in patients with uremia. Age, anemia, calcium and phosphorus abnormality, permeation age, and inflammatory status are important factors affecting sleep quality in dialysis patients.
