Abstract

Introduction: Sleep plays a fundamental role in supporting cognitive function and mental well-being in adolescence. Sleep disorders can potentiate the clinical effects and complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD is a genetic pathology with systemic repercussions and considered to be one of the most common serious monogenic diseases in the world. Objective: To evaluate the frequency of sleep disorders in adolescents with SCD and compare it to that of adolescents without the disease. Methodology: This is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study comprising a study group made up of 48 adolescents aged between twelve and sixteen with SCD and a control group made up of 38 healthy adolescents in the same age group. Parents or caregivers were given a previously validated questionnaire to assess sleep disorders: the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) Comparisons were made between the frequencies of sleep-related problems reported by the adolescents' parents and a cut-off point of at least three times a week for each item was set to define the presence of sleep disturbance. The present study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University Hospital of the Federal University of Sergipe under protocol CAAE 732195517.8.0000.5546 and opinion number 2,256,897. Results: The items with a statistical difference between the groups were: sleep hyperhidrosis with a 25% frequency among the sickle cell patients and 2.6% in the control group (p=0.005) and daytime sleepiness, which was observed in 20.8% of the sickle cell patients and 50% of the healthy adolescents (p=0.006). Conclusion: Adolescents with sickle cell disease had more sleep hyperhidrosis than adolescents without the disease, while the latter were sleepier during the day.
