ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is one of the diseases that cause the highest premature mortality and disability worldwide. Sleep disturbances have been associated with the onset of metabolic disorders and increased levels of glycated haemoglobin in diabetics. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of sleep of people with type 2 diabetes and its association with sociodemographic, clinical, and metabolic characteristics. METHODS: Observational, cross-sectional, analytical study of 223 patients with DM2 between 20 and 64 years old, controlled in a primary health care centre in Chile. RESULTS: Most were women (66.4%), average age 54.7 years. Only 33% slept the required number of hours (7-9â¯h) to maintain health. Fifty-seven point seven percent were metabolically unbalanced (Hb1Acâ¯>â¯7%). Seventy-five point two percent presented sleep problems of varying severity, which were associated with being a woman, night pain, nocturia, time of diagnosis of diabetes, and depressive symptoms. Persons with poor sleep quality were 73% more likely to be metabolically decompensated, however, this result was not statistically significant: ORâ¯=â¯1.73 (CI: 78-3.87). CONCLUSIONS: The high frequency of poor sleep quality and metabolic decompensation in the sample stands out, which could complicate DM2. The association between poor sleep quality and DM2 decompensation is inconclusive. Future research will contribute to elucidating the role of sleep in metabolic compensation and in the prevention of metabolic disorders.

La diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) es una de las enfermedades que causa mayor mortalidad prematura y discapacidad a nivel mundial. Las alteraciones del sueño se han asociado a la aparición de trastornos metabólicos y a mayores niveles de hemoglobina glucosilada en personas diabéticas.Objetivo:Evaluar la calidad del sueño de personas con DM2 y su asociación con características sociodemográficas, clínicas y metabólicas.Métodos:Estudio observacional, transversal, analítico en 223 personas con DM2 entre 20 y 64 años controladas en un centro de atención primaria de salud.Resultados:La mayoría eran mujeres (66,4%), edad promedio 54,7 años y solo el 33% duerme las horas necesarias (7 a 9 horas). Un 57,7% se encontraba metabólicamente descompensado (Hb1Ac>7%). Un 75,2% de los participantes presentó problemas de sueño de diversa gravedad, que se asoció a ser mujer, dolor nocturno, nicturia, tiempo de diagnóstico de la diabetes y síntomas depresivos. Las personas con mala calidad de sueño tuvieron 73% más probabilidad de estar descompensados metabólicamente, sin embargo, este resultado no fue estadísticamente significativo OR=1,73 (IC: 0,78-3,87).Conclusiones:Destaca la alta frecuencia de mala calidad de sueño y descompensación metabólica en la muestra, lo que podría complicar la DM2. No es concluyente la asociación entre mala calidad de sueño y descompensación de la DM2. Futuras investigaciones contribuirán a dilucidar el papel del sueño en la compensación metabólica y en la prevención de trastornos metabólicos.

The coronavirus pandemic, 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health emergency with significant impacts on the mental health of the general population. Both studies in previous epidemics and those that have been developed to date show a wide range of psychosocial consequences and multiple psychological symptoms, among which changes in the sleep pattern stand out, consistently in the publications it has been recorded that close of a third of the people who experience social isolation present insomnia, this is an important predictor for the development of mental disturbances with great compromises in functionality such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorders. The purpose of this reflection article is to describe the effects on sleep that can result from social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
La pandemia por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) es una emergencia de salud pública con impactos significativos en la salud mental de la población general. Tanto estudios en epidemias anteriores como los que se han desarrollo a la fecha evidencian una amplia gama de consecuencias psicosociales y múltiples síntomas psicológicos, dentro de los cuales resaltan las alteraciones en el patrón de sueño, de forma consistente en las publicaciones se ha registrado que cerca de una tercera parte de las personas que vivencian el aislamiento social presentan insomnio, siendo éste un predictor importante para el desarrollo de perturbaciones mentales con gran compromiso en la funcionalidad como trastornos de ansiedad, depresión y estrés postraumático. Este artículo de reflexión tiene por objetivo, describir los efectos en el sueño que pueden resultar del aislamiento social debido a la pandemia del COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
Introducción: El síndrome de apnea e hipopnea obstructiva del sueño (SAHOS) es un problema de salud pública común, en donde la posición al dormir tiene influencias fisiológicas importantes en el patrón de sueño. Objetivo: Establecer la severidad según índice de apnea hipopnea del sueño en los pacientes con síndrome obstructivo del sueño posicional (supino) y no posicional (no supino) en el Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael entre el 1 de enero de 2014 al 31 de diciembre de 2017. Diseño: Estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal. Metodología: Se tomaron datos registrados en las historias clínicas de los pacientes que asistieron al Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 88 personas de ambos sexos, en edades entre 18 y 90 años. Resultados: La distribución por género fue de 55 hombres (62,5%) y 33 mujeres (37,5%) de los cuales 47(53.4%) fueron SAHOS posicional y 41(46.6%) SAHOS no posicional. El peso promedio de las mujeres es de 71 kg y en hombres de 81 kg, la estatura es 1,58 cm y 1.67 respectivamente presentándose índices de masa corporal altos, en promedio de 28 para los dos géneros. La edad promedio es de 53 años para mujeres y de 46 años para hombres. Se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la severidad y SAHOS posicional (Fischer exact p=0.018), en donde el SAHOS severo está asociado con apnea no posicional, mientras que el SAHOS leve tiende a corresponder a la apnea posicional. Conclusiones: En nuestro estudio se evidenció que el SAHOS más severo está asociado a la apnea no posicional, mientras que el SAHOS menos severo tiende a corresponder a la apnea posicional.
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common public health problem, where the sleeping position has important physiological influences on the sleep pattern. Objective: To establish the severity according to the index of hypopnea sleep apnea in patients with positional (supine) and non-positional (non-supine) sleep obstructive syndrome in the San Rafael Clinical University Hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2017. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Recorded data of patients that attend the outpatient service of the San Rafael Clinical University Hospital has been taken for the study. The simple size was 88 people of both sexes, with ages between 18 and 90 years. Results: The distribution by gender was 55 men (62.5%) and 33 women (37.5%) of which 47(53.4%) were positional OSAS and 41(46.6%) non-positional OSAS The average weight of women is 71 kg and in men of 81 kg, the height is 1.58 cm and 1.67 cm respectively, with high body mass indexes, on average 28 for both genders. The average age is 53 for women and 46 for men. A statistically significant association was found between severity and positional OSAS (Fischer exact p = 0.018), where severe OSAS is associated with non-positional apnea, while mild OSAS corresponds to positional apnea. Conclusions: In our study it was evidenced that the most severe OSAS is associated to the non-positional apnea, while the less severe OSAS tends to correspond to the positional apnea.
