Singh JA - Researchers investigated the burden of sleep disorders in people with gout via performing a brief anonymized internet survey of people with physician-diagnosed gout who visited a gout education website. They assessed the frequency of sleep problems, sleep quality over the past 24 hours (0=best possible sleep, 10=worst possible sleep), daytime sleepiness on a typical day (0=none, 10=most sleepy during the day), sleep quantity (number of hours of sleep), the frequency of snoring or gasping, and snorting or stopping breathing during the sleep by using validated questionnaires, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2016 sleep questionnaire. Among the 454 website visitors who clicked on the survey, physician-diagnosed gout was reported by 320 survey respondents. Doctor-diagnosed sleep disorder (sleep apnea, 17%; sleep study ordered, diagnosis pending, 4%; other sleep disorder 2%) were reported by 23% of the respondents. Findings suggested frequent occurrence of sleep disorders and daytime sleepiness among people with physician-diagnosed gout.
