Epilepsy Behav. 2023 Dec 22;150:109568. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109568. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy (PWE) and to investigate the effects of sleep disorders on quality of life.METHODS: In our multicenter study conducted in Turkey, 1358 PWE were evaluated. The demographic and clinical data of the patients were recorded. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-10 (QOLIE-10) were administered.RESULTS: The mean age of 1358 patients was 35.92 ± 14.11 (range, 18-89) years. Seven hundred fifty-one (55.30 %) were women. Some 12.7 % of the patients had insomnia (ISI > 14), 9.6 % had excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS > 10), 46.5 % had poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5), and 354 patients (26.1 %) had depressive symptoms (BDI > 16). The mean QOLIE-10 score was 22.82 ± 8.14 (10-48). Resistant epilepsy was evaluated as the parameter with the highest risk affecting quality of life Adjusted odds ratio (AOR = 3.714; 95 % confidence interval (CI): [2.440-5.652] < 0.001)). ISI (AOR = 1.184; 95 % CI: [1.128-1.243]; p < 0.001), ESS (AOR = 1.081; 95 % CI: [1.034-1.130]; p < 0.001), PSQI (AOR = 0.928; 95 % CI: [0.867 - 0.994]; p = 0.034), BDI (AOR = 1.106; 95 % CI: [1.084-1.129]; p < 0.001), epilepsy duration (AOR = 1.023; 95 % CI: [1.004-1.041]; p = 0.014), we...
