Abstract
BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep quality, mood and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children with CF and controls.
METHODS: Children (7-12years) and adolescents (13-18years) with CF and controls completed sleep evaluation: overnight oximetry and 14days of actigraphy. Age-appropriate questionnaires assessed mood (Children's Depression Inventory; CDI or Beck's Depression Inventory), HRQOL (CF Questionnaire-Revised; CFQ-R or PedsQL), and sleepiness (Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale).
RESULTS: 87 CF and 55 controls recruited. Children with CF had poorer sleep quality, more sleepiness and lower mood than controls, with a negative correlation between mood score and sleep efficiency. Sleepiness score was predictive of mood score and multiple CFQ-R domains. Adolescents with CF also demonstrated poorer sleep and more sleepiness than controls, but no difference in mood. Reduced sleep quality predicted lower CFQ-R scores. No correlation between sleep, mood or HRQOL in controls.
CONCLUSIONS: In children and adolescents with CF, impaired sleep quality is associated with lower mood and HRQOL in an age-specific manner. Future research will aid understanding of effective strategies for prevention and treatment of mood disorders and sleep disturbance in children with CF.
