RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Disorder of arousal (DOA) and sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) are complex, often bizarre, involuntary sleep behaviors, whose differential diagnosis may be challenging because they share some clinical features, such as sleep fragmentation. Mounting evidence highlights the critical role of sleep in cognitive functions. Controversial findings are raised about the cognitive profile in SHE; however, no studies have investigated the cognitive profile in DOA. This study aimed to assess whether sleep instability affects cognitive functions in patients with SHE or DOA. METHODS: This study analyzed 11 patients with DOA, 11 patients with SHE, and 22 healthy controls (HC). They underwent full-night video polysomnography (vPSG) and comprehensive neuropsychological and behavioral evaluation. Differences in the variables of interest among the SHE group, DOA group, and their respective control groups were evaluated. The auto-contractive map (auto-CM) system was used to evaluate the strength of association across the collected data. RESULTS: The SHE group had reduced sleep efficiency and increased wake after sleep onset (WASO); both the SHE and DOA groups showed increased % of N2 and REM sleep compared to the HC group. Neuropsychological and behavioral evaluations showed a different cognitive profile in the SHE group with respect to the HC group. The auto-CM showed that Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck depression inventory (BDI), MWCST_PE, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), WASO, N1, and % REM were strictly correlated with SHE, whereas the SE and arousal index (AI) were strictly related to DOA. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SHE and DOA present different cognitive and psychiatric profiles, with subtle and selective cognitive impairments only in those with SHE, supporting the discriminative power of cognitive and psychiatric assessment in these two conditions.
