Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between sleep disorders (SDs), cardiovascular risk (CVR), and mood disorders (MDs) has been studied in detail in the general population, but far less in people with HIV (PWH). METHODS Cross-sectional analysis in single centre cohort of PWH. Sleep quality was assessed using by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Berlin Questionnaire (BQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Demographic, clinical and HIV-related data were collected, and Framingham and Data collection on Adverse effects of anti-HIV Drugs (DAD)-10 scores were computed in modelling associations with each SDs scale. RESULTS Data were collected for 721 PWH on stable combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) (median age of 53 years, 71.8% males, 96% with undetectable HIV RNA, 50.3% on cART potentially affecting sleep, and 20.4% on hypno-inducing drugs), 76.9% had SDs 60.3, 31.3, 31.1, and 7.9% at PSQI, BQ, ISI, and ESS, respectively. Anxiety and depression were detected in 28.3 and 16.1% participants, respectively. BQ score was independently associated with high BMI ( P < 0.001), Framingham risk >10% ( P < 0.001), and both DAD-10R and -10F score >10% ( P < 0.001 and P = 0.031). PSQI and ISI scores were independently associated with depression and anxiety ( P < 0.001). No association between SDs and specific antiretroviral regimens, nor HIV-related parameters was detected. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of PWH on stable ART, despite the alarmingly higher prevalence, SDs were associated with the same determinants (cardiovascular risk factors and MDs) observed in the general population.

Abstract
Studies conducted in people living with HIV (PLHIV) report high rates of sleep disturbance, without a clear explanation as to cause or effect. Therefore, we proposed use of multiple validated questionnaires that would allow a more comprehensive evaluation of sleep quality in PLHIV. We administered eight validated sleep and wellbeing questionnaires, recording different aspects of sleep in order to provide a comprehensive description of sleep quality, quantity, daytime functioning, wakefulness, and general wellbeing. Associations with demographics and clinical data were analyzed by univariable/multivariable analyses. Of 254 subjects 99% were male (98% men who have sex with men), 88% white, mean age 41 (SD ± 9.9) years, HIV duration eight years (SD ± 6.3), 94% were on antiretroviral therapy, mean CD4 cell count was 724 cells/mm3, 81% had HIV RNA<40 copies/ml, 72% were university educated, and 60% used 'chemsex' drugs. Almost half (45%) reported poor sleep quality, 22% insomnia, 21% daytime sleepiness, and 33% fatigue. As individual factors, HIV duration ≥10 years, anxiety, depression, and recreational drug use were associated with poor quality sleep, fatigue, and poorer functional outcomes (p ≤ 0.05). The prevalence of sleep disturbance was high in our cohort of PLHIV. Sleep disturbance was associated with longer duration of HIV infection, depression, anxiety, and recreational drug use.

Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the HIV Disability Questionnaire among adults living with HIV in the United Kingdom: A cross-sectional self-report measurement study. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0213222. [PMID: 31291243 PMCID: PMC6619602 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0213222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2019] [Accepted: 06/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the psychometric properties of the HIV Disability Questionnaire (HDQ) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in London, United Kingdom (UK). METHODS This is a cross-sectional measurement study. We recruited and administered the self-reported HDQ, seven criterion measures, and a demographic questionnaire with adults living with HIV accessing HIV care. We determined median and interquartile ranges (IQR) for disability presence, severity and episodic scores (range 0-100). We calculated Cronbach's alpha (α) Kuder-Richardson-20 (KR-20) statistics for disability and episodic scores respectively (internal consistency reliability), smallest detectable change (SDC) for each HDQ severity item and domain (precision), and tested 36 a priori hypotheses assessing correlations between HDQ and criterion scores (construct validity). RESULTS Of N = 243 participants, all were male, median age 40 years, 94% currently taking antiretroviral therapy, and 22% living with ≥2 concurrent health conditions. Median HDQ domain scores ranged from 0 (IQR: 0,7) (difficulties with day-to-day activities domain) to 27 (IQR: 14, 41) (uncertainty domain). Cronbach's alpha for the HDQ severity scale ranged from 0.85 (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.80-0.90) in the cognitive domain to 0.93 (95%CI: 0.91-0.94) in the mental-emotional domain. The KR-20 statistic for the HDQ episodic scale ranged from 0.74 (95%CI: 0.66-0.83) in the cognitive domain to 0.91 (95%CI: 0.89-0.94) in the uncertainty domain. SDC ranged from 7.3-15.0 points on the HDQ severity scale for difficulties with day-to-day activities and cognitive symptoms domains, respectively. The majority of the construct validity hypotheses (n = 30/36, 83%) were confirmed. CONCLUSIONS The HDQ possesses internal consistency reliability and construct validity with varied precision when administered to males living with HIV in London, UK. Clinicians and researchers may use the HDQ to measure the nature and extent of disability experienced by PLHIV in the UK, and to inform HIV service provision to address the health-related challenges among PLHIV.
