ABSTRACT
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been reported to have poor sleep quality. However, total sleep time has not been evaluated in detail among patients with COPD. This retrospective, observational, multicenter research study was performed across six participating hospitals in Taiwan, with a total of 421 adult patients enrolled. Pulmonary function, the Modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, the COPD Assessment Test and basic clinical data were assessed. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was also administered to patients, and the total sleep time was extracted for further analysis. The patients whose total sleep time was between 6 and 7 h had better pulmonary function, and the patients who slept less than 5 h had worse comorbidities. There was a significant higher total sleep time in Global Initiatives for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) group B compared to GOLD group A. COPD patients who sleep between 5 and 6 h used fewer oral steroids and were less likely to use triple therapy (long-acting beta-agonist, long-acting muscarinic antagonist, inhaled cortical steroid). COPD patients sleeping from 5 to 7 h had better clinical features than those sleeping less than 5 h in terms of pulmonary function, comorbidities and medication usage.
