Sleep Quality and Presence of Sleep Disordered Breathing
Summary
The purpose of our study is to survey the quality of sleep and sleep disordered breathing in a HIV infected inner city ambulatory African-American Population aged 50 years and older.
Hypothesis: African-American HIV infected individuals aged 50 years and older have a high prevalence of sleep disorders and lower quality of sleep.
Description
The purpose of our study is to survey the quality of sleep and sleep disordered breathing in a HIV infected inner city ambulatory African-American Population aged 50 years and older. A secondary objective is to investigate possible relationships between sleep quality and aspects of a patient's medical history including BMI, CD4 count, HIV viral load, history of substance abuse, psychiatric disorders, concurrent medical conditions, current HIV medications and HIV medication compliance.
Hypothesis: African-American HIV infected individuals aged 50 years and older have a high prevalence of sleep disorders and lower quality of sleep.
