Abstract

Purpose

We aimed to analyze the risk of injury in different age and gender groups experiencing parasomnias.

Methods

We collected clinical data of adult parasomnia patients seen between 2007 and 2023, from the database of the Institute of Behavioral Sciences Semmelweis University in Budapest. We classified them by age (19–39 and ≥40 years) and biological sex groups. Binary logistic regression was calculated to find the association between alcohol and tobacco use and dangerous activities, using odds ratios (ORs) at 95% CIs.

Results

Out of 45 parasomnia patients (64.5% female, and 73.4% in the 19–39 years age group), 69% experienced somnambulism and 20% had nightmare disorder. Dangerous behaviors and injuries related to sleepwalking included shoulder dislocation (6.3%), injury from breaking objects (25%), and sex without consent (12.5%). In our results, alcohol use was associated with parasomnia events 21-fold in males compared to females (p<0.05). Dangerous behavior was significantly higher in males and younger, than in older adults (OR: 4.91 and 4.61, p<0.05).

Conclusion

Parasomnias require particular care due to the risk of injury. The remarkably high odds of dangerous sleepwalking activities in males and young adults require further attention and explanation.

寄生虫病患者与损伤风险的16年临床研究

目的我们旨在分析不同年龄和性别的准全能患者受伤的风险。方法我们从布达佩斯Semmelweis大学行为科学研究所的数据库中收集了2007年至2023年期间出现的成年半昏迷患者的临床数据。我们根据年龄（19-39岁和≥40岁）和生理性别组对他们进行了分类。使用95%置信区间的优势比（OR）计算二元逻辑回归，以找出酒精和烟草使用与危险活动之间的关联。结果在45名睡眠障碍患者中（64.5%为女性，73.4%为19-39岁年龄组），69%有梦游症，20%有噩梦障碍。与梦游有关的危险行为和伤害包括肩关节脱位（6.3%）、打碎物体造成的伤害（25%）和未经同意的性行为（12.5%）。在我们的研究结果中，男性饮酒与睡眠障碍事件的相关性是女性的21倍（p＜0.05）。男性和年轻人的危险行为明显更高，与老年人相比（OR:4.91和4.61，p<；0.05）。男性和年轻人发生危险梦游活动的几率非常高，需要进一步关注和解释。
