STUDY OF SOME FACTORS RELATED TO RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME IN PATIENTS WITH CEREBRAL STROKE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To determine factors associated with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in patients with stroke. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 423 stroke patients treated at the Stroke Department, Military Hospital 103, from September 2022 to November 2023. RLS was diagnosed based on the 2012 consensus criteria of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group, with the diagnosis made one month post-stroke. Results: Smoking, renal failure, a family history of RLS, NIHSS ≥ 5, and lesions in the thalamus, caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus were associated with RLS in stroke patients. Three independent risk factors were identified: family history of RLS (OR = 6.376; 95% CI: 1.236–32.886; p = 0.027), thalamic lesions (OR = 3.7; 95% CI: 1.694–8.082; p = 0.001), and globus pallidus lesions (OR = 3.378; 95% CI: 1.512–7.549; p = 0.003). Conclusion: A family history of RLS, thalamic lesions, and globus pallidus lesions are risk factors for the development of RLS in stroke patients.
