Background:
To determine changes in quality of life (QOL), sleep quality (SQ) and daytime
sleepiness in patients diagnosed as Crow 4 high dislocations after treating
with total hip arthroplasty (THA). There isn’t enough data in the literature
about changes on QOL, SQ and daytime sleepiness in patients with Crowe 4 high
dislocations treated by THA.
Methods:
A total of 38 patients diagnosed as Crowe 4 high dislocations and treated by
THA in the last 3 years participated for the study. 36- item short form survey questionnaire
(SF-36), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale
(ESS) were applied to all subjects before and 6 months after the surgery and
compared.
Results:
QOL scores and SQ showed an increase in post-operative period with statistically
significant in subdimensions such as general health, physical well-being,
vitality, physical functioning and bodily pain of SF-36 and in subdimensions
such as sleep disturbances, sleep latency, and day dysfunction scores of PSQI.
No statistically differences between the mean scores of ESS observed.
Conclusion:
Our study is a unique study in the literature, which shows the positive effects
of surgery in different directions such as QOL, SQ and daytime sleepiness by
questionnaires in a homogeneous group treated with the same surgical method.
