Prevalence and clinical correlates of restless legs syndrome among psychogeriatric patients.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the prevalence, clinical features, and comorbidities of restless legs syndrome (RLS) among psychogeriatric patients in an out-patient clinical setting. METHODS:Cross-sectional study of a sample of 100 non-demented psychogeriatric outpatients that were assessed for the presence of RLS using the Revised International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group criteria and other support criteria. Medical and psychiatric illnesses, drug treatments, and other risk factors for RLS were documented. RESULTS:Prevalence of definite RLS in our sample was 11.11% with an additional prevalence of 10.10% of possible RLS. None of these patients had received a diagnosis of RLS previously. RLS was associated with major depressive disorder and with hypertension, but not with other previously described risk factors as female gender, some medical conditions, or psychoactive drug treatments. CONCLUSIONS:RLS is a frequent condition in psychogeriatric patients, especially among those with depression, and is commonly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Clinicians should routinely ask for RLS symptoms when assessing their patients in their regular clinical practice.
