A few previous studies have reported that the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a 29.1% to 36.8% frequency of restless legs syndrome (RLS). In this study, we observed RLS symptoms in patients experiencing COPD exacerbation to better understand the relationship between the many clinical parameters of COPD and the presence of RLS and to attract the attention of specialists on the association between the two conditions. Twenty-two male patients in COPD exacerbation; 17 healthy individuals were evaluated in this study. The patients were evaluated using the 2003 RLS symptom criteria outlined by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Groups (IRLSSG). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Epworth daytime sleepiness scale were used to assess the sleep quality of patients. The RLS symptoms were correlated with blood levels of laboratory and clinical parameters. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 17.0 statistical software packet. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Epworth daytime sleepiness scale scores were increased in COPD patients and correlated significantly with RLS symptoms. It was found that 54.5% of COPD patients with acute exacerbations were observed to have RLS symptoms. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was significantly higher in COPD patients with RLS symptoms compared to COPD patients without RLS symptoms (p < 0.05). We did not observe any significant difference in the previously reported metabolic and clinical parameters associated with RLS in COPD patients with and without RLS. RLS symptoms increase during COPD exacerbation and lead to decreased sleep quality.

ÖZETAmaç: Çalışmamızda fonksiyonal karın ağrısı (FKA) olan adölesanlarda huzursuz bacak sendromu (HBS) sıklığını saptamayı amaçladık.Gereç yöntem: Kliniğimizde FKA tanısı ile takip edilen yaşları 12 ile 16 yıl arasında değişen 79 olgu ve benzer yaş ve cinsiyette toplam 92 sağlıklı adölesan kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Tüm olgularda HBS varlığı Uluslararası HBS Çalışma Grubunun belirlediği HBS tanısı için hazırlanmış tanı formu kullanılarak sorgulandı. Tanı formundaki 4 sorunun tümüne evet yanıtı veren hastalara kesin HBS tanısı konuldu Bulgular: FKA'lı 79 hastanın 16'sında (%20,.2) ve 92 sağlıklı kontrolün 4'ünde (%4,3) HBS saptandı. FKA'lı hastalarda HBS oranı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı oranda yüksekti (p<0,01).Sonuç: HBS prevalansı FKA'lı adölesanlarda sağlıklı kontrol grubuna göre daha fazla oranda saptandı .Anahtar kelimeler: fonksiyonel karın ağrısı, huzursuz bacak sendromu, adölesan ABSTRACT Aim: We aimed to investigate the insidence of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in adolescents with functional abdominal pain (FAP).Materials: Seventynine adolescent patients following with the diagnosis of FAP ranging from 12 to 17 years of age in our clinic and 92 age-matched and sex-matched healty adolescents as a control group were studied. A semistructured interview guided by a questionnaire about RLS was applied to all of the participants.Results: Sixteen (20.2%) of the patients with FAP and 4 (4.3%) patients in the control group had RLS. The prevalence of RLS was higher in patients with FAP, compared to the control group (p<0,01).
