Information on sleep quality was collected using Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index(PSQI). A questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic lifestyle factors and psychological distress. This questionnaire was completed through an interview, and clinical information was extracted from patient's record. Data analysis was done using SPSS software version 23 and univariate andmultivariate analyses.RESULTS Study participants consist of 256 people with T2 DM the majority of whom were women(70%), and mean age of participants was 54.06 ± 9.09. The mean of total score of PSQI was 5.56 ± 3.34. Relative to younger age group, the middle-aged people with T2 DM were twice more likely to be poor sleeper; the adjusted OR was 2.03(95%CI: 1.01-4.08); and those with longer duration of diabetes were about 1.8 times more likely to report poor quality of sleep(ORadj = 1.77, 95%CI: 0.98-3.13). Participants with cholesterol level ≥ 240 mg/dL were about twice more likely to be poor sleeper(ORadj = 1.99, 95%CI: 1.01-3.94). The odds of being poor sleeper increased as the level of distress increased(1.84-4.09).CONCLUSION As indicated by the results of the present study, some factors including age, duration of disease, psychological distress and high level of cholesterol were independently associated with poor sleep quality.展开更多

And serious accidents occur in long-term cases.1 Despite comprehensive treatments, 9.38%-17.0% of the treated insomniacs fail to benefit at all. Thus the term of ＂refractory insomnia＂ has been coined.24 At present, there is no literature reporting the roles of estazolam plus alternating current magnetic field （ACMF） for treating insomnia. In the present study, estazolam plus ACMF was employed for the patients with refractory insomnia so as to explore the clinical efficacies of such a combined modality.展开更多
