Sleep Quality in Children with Iron Deficiency Anemia

Abstract

Objective: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in our country as well as all over the world. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the subjective sleep quality of patients with iron deficiency anemia in childhood. Materials and Methods: One hundred thirty patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and 110 healthy individuals, gender and age-matched, who applied to the Pediatrics clinic between April 2022 and September 2022, were included in the study. All participants were requested to fill out three forms: a socio-demographic form (age, gender, income level), hemogram laboratory findings and The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) measures subjective sleep quality, was applied, and the data were analyzed. Results: Total PSQI score was 6.563.51 in patients, and 4.362.34 in controls. There was a difference between the study and control groups in terms of low hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) and mean erythrocyte hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) values and decreased sleep quality. Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is a significant public health problem that adversely affects sleep quality in childhood.
