Abstract:Objective To explore the relationship between sleep structure and cognitive function and autonomic nervous function symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (Parkinson's disease, PD) with REM sleep behavior disorder (REM sleep disorder, RBD) in patients.Methods A retrospective method selected 160 PD patients in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019, and divided them into a study group (PD with RBD) and control group (simple PD patients) according to whether they were accompanied by RBD, with 80 patients in each group. people. The sleep structure, cognitive function, and autonomic nervous function symptoms of the two groups of patients were detected and compared, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between sleep structure and autonomic nervous function symptoms in the study group.Results The comparison results showed that the NREM1+2 stage sleep ratio, sleep latency, REM sleep latency, digestive system, urinary system, and cardiovascular system scores in the study group were greater than those of the control group, but NREM3+4 stage sleep ratio, REM sleep ratio, REM sleep latency, REM sleep cycle, TST, SE, MMSE, and MoCA scores were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the proportion of NREM1+2 sleep was negatively correlated with the thermoregulatory system (r = -0.341, P < 0.05); the proportion of NREM3+4 sleep was negatively correlated with the urinary system (r = -0.344, P < 0.05); sleep latency is positively correlated with MMSE, digestive system, urinary system, and cardiovascular system (r = 0.569, 0.606, 0.671, 0.403, all P < 0.05); REM sleep latency is positively correlated with digestive system, urinary system, and cardiovascular system (r = 0.630, 0.600, 0.361, all P < 0.05); REM sleep cycle is positively correlated with digestive system, urinary system, and cardiovascular system (r = 0.571, 0.599, 0.357, all P < 0.05); TST was positively correlated with digestive system, urinary system, and the cardiovascular system (r = 0.678, 0.631, 0.369, all P < 0.05); SE was positively correlated with the digestive system, urinary system, and cardiovascular system (r = 0.554, 0.559, 0.406, all P < 0.05).Conclusions Sleep structure shows a certain correlation with cognitive function and autonomic nervous function (digestive system, urinary system, cardiovascular system). It can be inferred that sleep structure disorder in PD patients with RBD can aggravate cognitive dysfunction and autonomic nervous function symptoms.
