ABSTRACT
Abstract

Background:

The effect of gastrointestinal system disorders on Restless Legs Syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) has been previously demonstrated by using serological tests. However, this association has not been supported by histopathological studies so far.

Objective:

To investigate the relationship between RLS/WED, upper endoscopic imaging and histopathological results in patients diagnosed with RLS who underwent endoscopy because of gastrointestinal system (GIS) complaints.

Methods:

Case-control study, including 100 patients diagnosed with RLS who presented dyspeptic complaints and underwent upper GIS endoscopy and 106 age- and sex-matched controls. RLS diagnosis was evaluated according to the four main diagnostic criteria determined by the International RLS Study Group. All patients underwent upper GIS endoscopic intervention and at least one gastric and/or antral biopsy.

Results:

There was no significant difference between patients and controls in relation to endoscopically seen gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) findings and Helicobacter pylori (HP) positivity (p>0.05). Intestinal metaplasia and mucosal atrophy were more common in RLS/WED patients compared to controls (p=0.026 and p=0.017, respectively). Additionally, ferritin levels were found to be lower than the reference value.

Conclusions:

The detection of increased severity of intestinal metaplasia, mucosal atrophy, and gastric inflammation in RLS/WED patients with dyspeptic complaints may entail the close gastrointestinal system evaluation of these patients. However, larger randomized and controlled trials are required on this subject where patients are evaluated by upper GIS endoscopic biopsy.
RESUMO
Resumo

Introdução:

Os efeitos das doenças do sistema digestório sobre a Síndrome das Pernas Inquietas/doença de Willis-Ekbom (SPI/DWE) foram demonstrados previamente por testes sorológicos. No entanto, até o momento tal associação não foi corroborada por estudos histopatológicos.

Objetivo:

Investigar a relação entre a SPI/DWE, imagens de endoscopia digestiva alta e resultados histopatológicos em pacientes diagnosticados com SPI/DWE com queixas do sistema digestório.

Métodos:

Estudo caso-controle incluindo 100 pacientes com SPI/DWE e queixas dispépticas que foram submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta, e 106 controles emparelhados para idade e sexo. O diagnóstico de SPI/DWE foi determinado com base nos quatro principais critérios do International RLS Study Group. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à intervenção endoscópica do sistema digestório superior e a pelo menos uma biópsia gástrica e/ou antral.

Resultados:

Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos em relação à úlcera gástrica endoscopicamente observada, úlcera duodenal, doença do refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE) e positividade para Helicobacter pylori (HP) (p>0,05). Metaplasia intestinal e atrofia da mucosa foram mais comuns em pacientes com SPI/DWE em comparação aos controles (p=0,026 e p=0,017, respectivamente). Níveis de ferritina encontravam-se abaixo do valor de referência.

Conclusão:

A detecção de metaplasia intestinal grave, atrofia de mucosa e inflamação gástrica em pacientes com SPI/DWE com queixas dispépticas pode justificar a avaliação cuidadosa do sistema digestório nestes pacientes. Entretanto, são necessários estudos controlados e com amostras maiores com pacientes avaliados com biópsia por via endoscópica.
