Abstract BackgroundDeprescribing long-term hypnotic drug use is recommended in older adults to reduce medication-related harm such as falls. It is currently unknown whether this might be feasible in geriatric inpatients. The aim of this study was hence to determine predisposing factors for discontinuation of benzodiazepines and Z-drugs one month after discharge in geriatric inpatients receiving usual care.MethodsA prospective observational study was performed at the University Hospitals Leuven (UZ Leuven, Belgium). Patient characteristics, hypnotic drug use and sleep quality were gathered up to one month after discharge. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify independent determinants.ResultsChronic hypnotic drug use was highly prevalent (26.6%) in the geriatric population of UZ Leuven. Ninety-six patients with a mean age of 85.7 (SD 4.7) years admitted to the acute geriatric ward over a period of 10 months were included for analysis. Upon admission, 74% used a benzodiazepine and 26% a Z-drug. One month after discharge, 35 patients (36.5%) discontinued the hypnotic drug and in 23 cases (24.0%) the equivalent daily dose was reduced. Cessation of the hypnotic drug during hospitalization was found to be the only determinant influencing discontinuation one month after discharge with an odds ratio of 9.43 (95% confidence interval: 3.23 – 32.13). This was not associated with any deterioration of sleep quality.ConclusionsThis study confirms the overuse of long-term BZD and Z-drug use in geriatric patients. Cessation of hypnotic drugs during hospitalization was strongly associated with persistent discontinuation one month after discharge.Trial registrationThe study was approved by the Ethics Committee of UZ Leuven (registration number B322201629331).

Objective: To evaluate the quality of sleep-in patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Study Design: Prospective observational study. Place and Duration of Duration: Psychiatry Department and Medicine Ward of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi Pakistan, from Apr to Nov 2018. Methodology: All patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were included in the study. All cases under age 30, type I diabetes, gestational diabetes and patients with severe illness were excluded. The data of sociodemographic lifestyle factors was collected through a pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire and sleep quality of patients was assessed using Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The results of the data were analyzed by using SPSS version 24. Results: Out of 260 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, 197 (76%) were female. The mean age of the sample was 55.7 ± 9.89 years, with only 54 (20.8%) having normal body mass index. More than 50% of sample was poor sleepers and educational status was found to be strongly associated with quality of sleep (p-value <0.05). Conclusion: The present study indicates that patients with Diabetes Mellitus often experienced sleep irregularities hence poor sleep quality. There is a need to increase the awareness regarding sleep quality among patients and health professionals as well while assessing the patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
