Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The objective was to determine the prevalence and predictors of comorbid insomnia in patients presenting for sleep surgery evaluation. The insomnia severity index (ISI) was utilized to evaluate patients' insomnia severity.

METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed in patients presenting to an otolaryngology sleep surgery clinic; patients also completed a sleep history questionnaire. Patients were divided between those with and without clinically significant insomnia defined as ISI ≥ 15.

RESULTS: A total of 119 patients were included in the study: 50 (42%) with an ISI ≥ 15 and 69 (58%) with an ISI < 15. Clinically significant insomnia was associated with respiratory disturbance index (

CONCLUSIONS: Patients reporting to a sleep surgery clinic are at an elevated risk for comorbid insomnia. The relationship between increased respiratory event-related arousals and nonsleep SNOT-22 scores to related sleep-maintenance insomnia supports the connection between insomnia, nasal obstruction, and continuous positive airway pressure intolerance.
