The Relationship Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Restless Legs Syndrome in Pregnancy

Öz:

Objective: Restless Legs syndrome is a common sleep-related movementdisorder, and vitamin D deficiency is claimed to play a role in theemergence of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the relationshipbetween vitamin D deficiency and the prevalence and severity of RestlessLegs syndrome, as well as assess the effects of Restless Legs syndrome onsleep quality during pregnancy.Materials and Methods: Overall, 145 pregnant women were enrolledin the study. Participants were divided into the following two groupsbased on serum 25 (OH) vitamin D levels: low (<20 ng/mL) and normal(≥20 ng/mL). The pregnant women were screened for Restless Legssyndrome by using the diagnostic criteria of the International RestlessLeg Syndrome Study Group Rating scale. Pittsburg Sleep Qualityindex was used to evaluate sleep quality. The groups were comparedstatistically.Results: Overall, 58.2% of patients in the vitamin D deficient group and27.7% in the vitamin D sufficient group were diagnosed with RestlessLegs syndrome. Notably, Restless Legs syndrome severity and Pittsburgscores were significantly higher in patients with low vitamin D levels.Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to address the linkbetween vitamin D deficiency and the frequency and symptom severityof Restless Legs syndrome in pregnant women. The findings of thisstudy indicate the need to evaluate vitamin D deficiency in pregnantwomen with restless legs symptoms.

Gebelikte D Vitamini Eksikliği ve Huzursuz Bacaklar Sendromu İlişkisi

Öz:

Amaç: Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromu sık görülen, uyku ile ilişkili bir hareket bozukluğu olup hastalığın ortaya çıkışında D vitamini eksikliğinin rolü vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı gebelerde vitamin D eksikliği ile Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromunun prevalansı ve şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiye değerlendirmek ve Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromunun uyku üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yüz kırk beş gebe kadın çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcılar vitamin D düzeyi düşük olanlar (<20ng/mL) ve normal olanlar (≥20 ng/mL) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Uluslararası Huzursuz Bacaklar Sendromu Çalışma Grubu ve Uluslararası Değerlendirme ölçeğine göre gebeler Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromu açısından incelendi. Uyku kalitesini ölçmek için Pitssburg Uyku Kalitesi indeksi kullanıldı. Gruplar istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromu tanısı D vitamini eksikliği olan grupta %58,2, D vitamini yeterli grupta %27,7 olarak belirlendi. Düşük vitamin D düzeyleri olan hastalarda Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromu şiddeti ve Pitssburg skorları anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, bu çalışma gebe kadınlarda D vitamini eksikliği ile Huzursuz Bacaklar sendromunun sıklığı ve semptom şiddeti arasındaki bağlantıyı ele alan ilk çalışmadır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, huzursuz bacak semptomları olan gebe kadınlarda D vitamini eksikliği değerlendirmesinin gerekliliğini gösterebilir
