Table 1. Study population comorbidities.
Comorbidities | O-IN (N = 14) (N, %) | P-IN (N = 24) (N, %) | q value |
Cardiovascular disorders (rhythm disturbances, flutter) | 3 (21%) | 4 (17%) | 1 |
Endocrine disturbances (hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia) | 5 (36%) | 10 (43%) | 1 |
Musculoskeletal system syndromes (arthrosis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia) | 7 (50%) | 20 (87%) | 1 |
Vascular disorders (hypertension, venous insufficiency) | 5 (36%) | 11 (48%) | 1 |
Dyslipidemia | 0 (0%) | 11 (48%) | 0.2 |
Chronic respiratory diseases (asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) | 1 (7%) | 3 (13%) | 0.9 |
Autoimmune disorders (Raynaud’s syndrome, Hashimoto) | 1 (7%) | 1 (4%) | 1 |
Gastrointestinal disturbances (gastroesophageal reflux, gastritis) | 2 (14%) | 3 (13%) | 1 |
The comparison between the two groups of patients (O-IN versus P-IN) was performed by using two-sided Mann-Whitney test with Benjamini-Hochberg correction, considering q (corrected p-value) <0.05 statistically significant (*). No significant difference emerged between the two groups of patients.
O-IN = Objective Insomnia patients. P-IN = Paradoxical Insomnia patients.
