SOME FACTORS RELATED TO RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME IN INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate some factors related to restless legs syndrome in patients with Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Subjects and methods: prospective study 186 patients with ICH at the Stroke Department, Military Hospital 103 from September 2022 to September 2023. Results: the RLS rate was 8.6 % at 31 ± 7.6 days. Smoking, family history of first-degree relatives with RLS, high BMI and NIHSS score, basal ganglia bleeding related to RLS after stroke. In that, BMI over 22.12±2.10 (OR: 1.279; 95%CI: 1.028-1.590; p =0.027) and ICH in basal ganglia (OR: 2.734; 95%CI: 1.669-11.164; p =0.038) was independently associated with RLS after stroke. Conclusion: RLS occurs in 8.6% after hemorrhagic stroke. Smoking, having relatives with RLS, high BMI, basal ganglia damage related to RLS after stroke. Among them, high BMI and basal ganglia damage are independently associated with RLS.
