“…When the negative effects created by RLS in pregnancy (poor sleep quality, poor daytime function, excessive daytime sleepiness, pre-eclampsia, preterm birth) and adverse effects of sleep problems created by the RLS (preterm delivery, prolonged labor, cesarean section deliveries, and postpartum depression) are considered, the necessity of screening pregnant women in Turkey for RLS becomes clear. 13,19,20,22 RLS is often underestimated and undiagnosed in pregnancy and can lead to a lower quality of life. It is commonly associated with pregnancy, and its symptoms negatively impact the quality of life in pregnant women.…”

“…21 Prior reports have linked sleep-wake disturbances to adverse pregnancy and delivery outcomes (e.g., preterm delivery, prolonged labor, cesarean section deliveries, and postpartum depression). 22 Terzi et al 23 found a significant difference between RLS and obstructive sleep apnea symptoms (witnessed apnea and fatigue) in pregnant women. In order to suggest solutions to the problems experienced by pregnant women, it is important to determine these problems and their effects on pregnancy during follow-up, care, and counseling services for pregnant women.…”

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to determine the extent of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in pregnant women and evaluate the relationship between the syndrome and quality of life. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A questionnaire developed by the researcher, the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Questionnaire to measure the quality of life, the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) Diagnostic Criteria for RLS and the Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale were applied to the women to collect the data. A total of 250 pregnant women were included in the study. RESULTS: The mean age of the women was 28.11 ± 5.59 years and the mean gestational time was 26.26 ± 10.72 weeks. Symptoms of RLS were seen in 46.4 % of the women. The mean for the RLS Violence Rating Score was 20.82 ± 6.61 for the women with RLS. RLS was found to be mild in 5.2 % of the women, moderate in 45.7 %, severe in 40.5 % and very severe in 8.6 %. A statistically significant effect of RLS survival on quality of life was observed. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that almost half of the pregnant women in this study experienced RLS, and about half of those with RLS experienced severe or very severe RLS. There is a significant relationship between RLS and six domains of SF-36 (physical, role limitations, pain, general health perception, energy/vitality, and mental health).

[15][16][17] Therefore, the goal of this study was twofold: (1) to examine the frequency of RLS in a large, heterogeneous sample of pregnant women using standardized diagnostic criteria for RLS; and (2) to investigate the role of RLS in sleep-wake disturbances (ie, poor sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and poor daytime function) in addition to key delivery outcomes. …”

Study Objectives: To estimate the association of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and its frequency with sleep-wake disturbances in pregnancy. Methods: A cohort of 1,563 women in their third trimester of pregnancy were recruited from prenatal clinics between March 2007 and December 2010. Demographic, pregnancy, and delivery data were extracted from medical records and sleep information was collected with questionnaires. To diagnose RLS, we used standardized criteria of RLS symptoms and frequency that were developed by the International Restless Legs Study Group. Logistic regression models were constructed to investigate the association of RLS and its frequency with sleep-wake disturbances (poor sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, poor daytime function) and delivery outcomes. Results: Overall 36% of the pregnant women had RLS, and half had moderate to severe symptoms. Compared to women without RLS, those with RLS were more likely to have poor sleep quality (odds ratio [OR] 2.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7-2.9), poor daytime function (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.4-2.4), and excessive daytime sleepiness (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.3-2.0). A dose-response relationship also was evident between RLS frequency and each of the sleep-wake disturbances. There was no evidence for any association between RLS and delivery outcomes. Conclusions: RLS is a significant contributor to poor sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and poor daytime function, all common and often debilitating conditions in pregnancy. Obstetric health care providers should be aware of these associations and screen women for RLS. I NTRO DUCTI O NRestless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a sensorimotor disorder composed of an urge to move, with or without associated discomfort that occurs with inactivity and improves with movement. It follows a circadian pattern, with a predilection for the evening and night.1 RLS is a common, underdiagnosed condition that affects up to 5% of the population worldwide, 2-4 with up to 15% prevalence in Caucasians. 5 The prevalence of RLS is positively correlated with age and body mass index (BMI) among both men and women.6,7 Although RLS has a genetic predisposition, it is also associated with other conditions such as end-stage renal disease, neuropathy, and pregnancy. 8 RLS affects up to one-third of pregnant women 9,10 peaks in the third trimester, 9-11 and usually subsides after delivery. 11Multiparous women are affected up to three times more often than nulliparous women. 10 The high prevalence of RLS during pregnancy has been attributed to hemodynamic and hormonal changes, iron and folate metabolism, and psychomotor behaviors.12 Although RLS is related to reduced quality of life and poor sleep in the general population 13,14 data on RLSassociated maternal sleep-wake disturbances are lacking. pregnancy and delivery outcomes (eg, preterm delivery, prolonged labor, cesarean section deliveries, and postpartum depression).

Aim of study: The study was carried out to evaluate maternal lifestyle and behavioral factors affecting the risk of spontaneous PTB. Methods: A descriptive study design was done in the postnatal ward of the Obstetrics Department at Zagazig University Hospital, Zagazig City, Al Sharkia Governorate. The sample of 200 women was assigned to two groups selected through the purposive sampling method from January to September 2017. The questionnaire was designed to collect background data of women. Also, lifestyle and behavioral features of women during pregnancy period. Results: The results of the current study showed that, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups according to their socio-demographic characteristics group (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant relation between spontaneous preterm birth and inadequate antenatal care, short inter-pregnancy interval, and lifestyle factors (P<0.001). Moreover, serious life events and vital exhaustion during their pregnancy were significant risk factors for spontaneous preterm birth. Conclusion: There is a statistically significant relationship between inter-pregnancy intervals (less than 12 months) and increased risk of spontaneous PTB. As well as, stresses of heavy and night working associated with the risk of PTB. Serious lifestyle events for pregnant women contribute to a significant increase in the risk of PTB, where Short sleep duration or prolonged, and vital exhaustion were highly associated with an increased risk of spontaneous PTB.

Abstract: Although daily dysfunction and lower quality of life because of sleep problems, and total sleep duration were variables associated with preterm birth, we found no significant relationship between sleep disorder and preterm birth.
