Evaluation of polysomnography changes in patients using antidepressants
Abstract
Aims: In patients followed up with sleep disorders and receiving antidepressant treatment, the choice of antidepressant should be appropriate to the characteristics of the patient and the drug. The aim of this study is to show the effects of antidepressant drug selection on polysomnography results. Material and
Methods: This study was planned retrospectively and was conducted by scanning patient files. Between 01.06.2018 and 01.06.2022, the files of patients who underwent polysomnography in the sleep laboratory of our hospital and were using antidepressants were scanned. Differences between antidepressant groups and polysomnography results were analyzed with IBM SPSS v23.
Results: 103 patients (43 women/60 men) were included in the study. It was determined that 56 of these patients used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and 47 of them used serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Yates correction was used in the comparison of gender according to the groups, and there was no statistically significant difference between the distributions of gender according to the groups (p=0.248). According to the drug groups, the results of the polysomnography examined in the study do not differ according to the groups.
Conclusion: It was shown that the antidepressant groups examined in the study did not differ in terms of affecting the results of polysomnography. Other clinical characteristics of the patient can be taken into account in the selection of antidepressants in these groups.

Keywords : Polysomnography, antidepressants, serotonin, norepinephrine
