Abstract
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is characterized by unpleasant nocturnal sensations in the lower limbs, and it has emerged as the fourth leading cause of insomnia and is often an underdiagnosed medical condition among sleep disorders. The symptoms of RLS are more common in chronic kidney disease patients than in the general population. Therefore, we performed the first meta-analysis to estimate the risk of RLS among chronic kidney disease patients. We conducted a comprehensive search in Embase, Ovid-MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases. Data were analyzed with the random-effects model using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software to find the odds ratio (OR). The heterogeneity was checked with the I2 test and Cochran's Q-statistic, and we performed the moderator analysis to find potential sources of heterogeneity. The study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Of 1175 studies, we found nine studies, with a total of 18,983 participants. The pooled OR of RLS among chronic kidney disease was 5.64 (95%CI 2.70-11.78). Regarding moderator analysis results, it was observed that higher body mass index and abnormal laboratory results would increase the risk of RLS; however, the statistical test was not significant in the current study. The findings reveal a substantial sixfold increase in the likelihood of RLS when compared to the general population. Therefore, health professionals should encourage patients to adhere to the treatment and practice a healthy lifestyle to manage their condition and reduce the risk of RLS. Moreover, future research can develop an intervention to reduce RLS symptoms. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41105-024-00513-4.

Liu Y, Du Q, Jiang Y. Prevalence of restless legs syndrome in maintenance hemodialysis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Sleep Med 2024; 114:15-23. [PMID: 38147712 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.11.1138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Restless legs syndrome is associated with quality of life and risk of death in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Although relevant meta-analyses have been conducted, epidemiological studies of restless legs syndrome have increased in recent years. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to systematically assess the prevalence of restless legs syndrome in maintenance hemodialysis patients and to evaluate the effect of different geographic regions, genders, study designs, and years of publication on the prevalence of restless legs syndrome. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, Wanfang Database, Weipu, and Chinese Biomedical Database were searched before March 16, 2023 for the published literature. Two investigators independently performed literature screening, data extraction for eligible studies, and risk of bias assessment. A random-effects model using the stata 15.0 software was used to assess the pooled prevalence of restless legs syndrome. RESULTS Fifty-seven articles were included in this meta-analysis, and the pooled prevalence of restless legs syndrome in 12,573 maintenance hemodialysis patients was 24.0 % (95 % CI: 21.0%-26.0 %). Maintenance hemodialysis patients from the Americas region and females had severe symptoms of restless legs syndrome, and the prevalence of restless legs syndrome increased from year to year. The prevalence of restless legs syndrome was higher in maintenance hemodialysis patients in cross-sectional studies and cohort studies compared to case-control studies. CONCLUSIONS Maintenance hemodialysis patients have a significantly higher prevalence of restless legs syndrome. These findings may provide some reference value for hospital nursing staff to focus on the management and treatment of restless legs syndrome in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with different clinical complications. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of RLS in people with diabetes mellitus and compare the risk of restless leg syndrome (RLS) between diabetic and non-diabetic population. METHODS We searched for studies of RLS prevalence in DM through PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Two authors independently completed the literature screening, data extraction, and bias risk assessment of eligible studies. All observational studies that assessed the prevalence or risk of RLS in DM were included, where the diagnosis of RLS was based on the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG). Percentages, odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess pooled estimates of RLS prevalence and risk based on random-effects models. Newcastle-Ottawa-scale (NOS) or a modified NOS were used to evaluate the quality of studies. FINDINGS A total of 42 studies, including 835,986 participants, met the eligibility criteria for the meta-analysis. Among them, 30 studies were included in meta-analysis to analyze the prevalence of RLS. A second meta-analysis was conducted using 31 studies to determine RLS risk between diabetes and non-diabetes. The results indicate that between 25% (95% confidence interval 21%-29%) of people with diabetes showed signs of RLS, and people with diabetes had an increased risk of developing RLS compare to people without diabetes (OR 1.98, 95%CI 1.66- 2.34, p < 0.001). However, the available evidence was limited due to potential risk of bias and variability between studies (I2 >75%), all of observational design. INTERPRETATION Our study suggests that the prevalence and risk of RLS might be higher in DM patients than in non-diabetes population. However, given limitations in the analysis and study design, the findings need to be corroborated in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited understanding of aetiological factors of and treatment options for restless leg syndrome (RLS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of RLS in CKD patients and identify factors that may contribute to RLS. METHODS A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of patients with CKD stage 4 (CKD 4), pre-dialysis stage 5 (CKD-5ND) and haemodialysis-dependent stage 5 (CKD-5D) was conducted. Eligible patients were enrolled from the local dialysis units and renal clinics. The International RLS Study Group rating scale was used to establish the diagnosis of RLS and quantify its severity. RESULTS 212 patients with CKD 4 (n = 92), CKD-5ND (n = 14) and CKD-5D (n = 106) were included. The overall prevalence of RLS was 32.1%. Women had a significantly higher odds of having RLS despite adjustment for age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and whether patients were on dialysis (odds ratio 2.8 [95% confidence intervals 1.5-5.2]). In pre-dialysis groups, patients with RLS had significantly higher serum ferritin (323.9 [SD 338.1] vs 177.5 [SD 178.5] µg/L, p = 0.020) compared to non-RLS patients. In dialysis patients (CKD-5D), those with RLS had significantly higher total white cell (8.0 [SD 3.5] vs 6.8 [SD 1.9] × 109/L, p = 0.026) and neutrophil (6.4 [SD 3.9] vs 4.6 [SD1.7] × 109/L, p = 0.002) counts compared to patients without RLS. CONCLUSION RLS remains a significant problem in patients with CKD and may be related to underlying inflammation. Targeting this pathway may be useful. Prevalence of RLS, diagnosed using validated measures, is higher than previous reports. TRIAL REGISTRATION N/A (the current study is not a trial).

Abstract
Restless leg syndrome (RLS), also called Willis Ekbom disease, can be described as an unpleasant feeling that intensely urges the patients to move their lower limbs. RLS is classified into primary and secondary. It is one of the common complications in hemodialysis patients, and it impairs patients’ quality of life. Unfortunately, it is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder. In this review article, we performed a literature search using the PubMed database to compare different treatment modalities for RLS in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on regular hemodialysis. Many of the non-pharmacologic modalities of treatment are cost-effective and safer than pharmacologic therapy. Given the small sample size of the studies and short follow up duration, we should consider conducting studies on a larger number of patients and for longer periods of time to assess the efficacy and safety of different treatment patterns for RLS in hemodialysis patients. We hope to raise awareness about this neurologic condition in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), or Willis-Ekbom disease (WED), is an irresistible urge to move the legs, predominantly while resting, sitting, or sleeping, which disrupts sleep and impairs quality of life. RLS can occur secondary to uremia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients due to inadequate hemodialysis. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent muscular atrophy and to improve the quality of life of RLS patients, especially those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiac mortality high in uremic RLS patients due to associated discomfort and lowering the duration of hemodialysis treatment. This review focuses on and discusses the diagnosis, treatment, and associated comorbid conditions of uremic RLS. Though the exact pathophysiology is unknown, altered transferrin expression in the choroid plexus, increased glutamate levels in the thalamus, decreased opioid receptors, dopamine system dysfunction, calcium/phosphate imbalance, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in the BTBD9 and MEIS1 genes are a few nonconfirmatory pathophysiological concepts for uremic RLS. Nonpharmacological options include lowering the temperature of dialysate by 1 degree C and home-based therapies like massages, warm/cold baths, and aerobic exercises. Pharmacological therapy like dopamine agonists ropinirole and pramipexole reduces the symptoms effectively. However, surgical options like parathyroidectomy and renal transplantation are stated as the best treatment options in patients suffering from uremic RLS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a risk factor for renal disease. Therefore, this study was aimed at estimating the prevalence of hypertension in renal patients in Iran through meta-analysis. METHODS The search was carried out using authentic Persian and English keywords in national and international databases including IranMedex, SID, Magiran, IranDoc, Medlib, ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, and Google Scholar search engine without any time limitation until 2017. Heterogeneity of studies was assessed using the I 2 index. Data were analyzed using STATA ver 11. RESULTS In 35 reviewed studies with a sample of 39,621 subjects, the prevalence of hypertension in renal patients was 35% (95% CI: 29%-41%) (25% in women and 18% in men). The prevalence of systolic hypertension in renal patients was 5%, diastolic hypertension 26%, and diabetes 23%. The prevalence of hypertension in hemodialysis patients was 34%, 27% in peritoneal dialysis, 43% in kidney transplantation, and 26% in chronic renal failure. In addition, meta-regression showed that the prevalence of hypertension in renal patients did not significantly decrease during the years 1988-2017. CONCLUSIONS More than a third of kidney patients in Iran suffer from high blood pressure. The diastolic blood pressure of these patients is about five times higher than their systolic blood pressure. Moreover, the age group under 30 is a high-risk group. The prevalence of hypertension in women with kidney disease is higher than in men. In addition, patients who have kidney transplants are more likely to have high blood pressure than other kidney patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and to compare CRF patients with or without RLS in terms fatigue and sleep quality. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 220 patients (18-75 years) who were undergoing dialysis 3 times weekly in Çorum Province, Corum, Turkey, between January 2014 and January 2016. The diagnosis of RLS was based on the diagnostic form proposed by the international RLS study group. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and severity of fatigue was determined by using fatigue severity scale (FSS). RESULTS Of all the participants, 16.8% (n= 37) (Group 1) were found to have RLS, while 183 patients had no RLS (Group 2). The mean ages were similar between groups. With respect to laboratory analyses, a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered in Group 1 than in Group 2. Restless legs syndrome was mild (7.1%), moderate (46.4%) and severe (39.3%) in patients with RLS. Factors associated with the severity of RLS included weight, duration of dialysis, anuria, iron, total iron binding capacity, calcium and transferrin saturation. The PSQI and FSS scores were significantly worse in Group 1 (p less than 0.001). CONCLUSION Restless legs syndrome is a common condition in patients undergoing hemodialysis; the results of our study confirm the adverse effects of RLS in terms of many aspects of sleep quality and fatigue.

Abstract
Restless legs syndrome (RLS), a common neurological sensorimotor disorder in western countries, has gained more and more attention in Asian countries. The prevalence of RLS is higher in older people and females. RLS is most commonly related to iron deficiency, pregnancy and uremia. The RLS symptoms show a significant circadian rhythm and a close relationship to periodic limb movements (PLMs) in clinical observations, while the pathophysiological pathways are still unknown. The diagnostic criteria have been revised in 2012 to improve the validity of RLS diagnosis. Recent studies have suggested an important role of iron decrease of brain in RLS pathophysiology. Dopaminergic (DA) system dysfunction in A11 cell groups has been recognized long ago from clinical treatment and autopsy. Nowadays, it is believed that iron dysfunction can affect DA system from different pathways and opioids have a protective effect on DA system. Several susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms such as BTBD9 and MEIS1, which are thought to be involved in embryonic neuronal development, have been reported to be associated with RLS. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment are discussed in this review. First-line treatments of RLS include DA agents and α2δ agonists. Augmentation is very common in long-term treatment of RLS which makes prevention and management of augmentation very important for RLS patients. A combination of different types of medication is effective in preventing and treating augmentation. The knowledge on RLS is still limited, the pathophysiology and better management of RLS remain to be discovered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nowadays prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients was reported in many studies, while the results varied. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of RLS in this population, considering different data collecting measures and diagnostic criteria. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases were searched for relevant studies. We limited the analyses to studies using clinical interview or questionnaire for diagnosis. Univariate meta-regression analysis was preformed to assess the effects of the disease-related covariates on prevalence estimates. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.0 was used to perform the meta-analysis. RESULTS Fifty-one studies were included in the analysis. Prevalence of RLS was varied by renal function and diagnostic methods. Overall prevalence in CKD populations was 24.2% (95%CI, 20.1-28.7). Pooled prevalence of RLS was higher in patients diagnosed by questionnaire than by clinical interview [26.2% (95%CI, 17.9-36.5) vs. 23.6% (95%CI, 19.6-28.1)]. When grouped by CKD setting, the prevalence was 28.4% (95%CI, 24.6-32.6) in dialysis patients, followed by early stages patients [9.9% (95%CI, 5.4-17.5)], and kidney transplant recipients [6.7% (95%CI, 5.6-7.8)]. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggested that more than one-quarter of CKD sufferers, especially those who were on dialysis, were plagued by RLS. Higher sensitivity of diagnostic criteria in interview may be valuable for timely treatment.

Abstract
AIM/BACKGROUND Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological movement disorder which is commonly seen in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Insomnia, depression, and anxiety disorders frequently show concurrence. In this study, we aimed to investigate RLS and insomnia prevalence and related factors in HD patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients who were under HD treatment and healthy controls with similar mean age, sex ratio, and hypertension and diabetes mellitus frequency were included in this study. Depression, insomnia, and daytime sleepiness assessments were performed by using Beck Depression Inventory, Insomnia Severity Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The diagnosis of RLS was made using the International RLS Study Group consensus criteria. RESULTS About 156 HD patients and 35 controls were enrolled. The mean age was 50.6 in the HD group and 49.7 in the control group. Female sex was 43.9% in the HD group and 57.1% in the control group. RLS was significantly more frequent in HD patients compared with controls. The rate of sub-threshold insomnia and insomnia with moderate severity was higher in HD patients. While insomnia severity score and diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with the presence of RLS, depression, RLS, older age, and being under HD treatment were independently associated with insomnia severity. CONCLUSIONS HD patients commonly have RLS and insomnia. Insomnia and diabetes mellitus seem to be major factors underlying RLS in HD patients. Furthermore, depression and RLS seem to be closely related to insomnia in these patients. Treatment of depression, insomnia, and RLS may be beneficial to improve quality of life in HD patients.
