Summary

Although there are numerous data demonstrating the impact of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) on respiratory functions, there is a lack of studies investigating the effects of respiratory functions on parameters such as sleep quality, dyspnea, and fatigue. The primary objective of the study is to examine the influence of changes in respiratory muscle functions in ILD on sleep quality, dyspnea, and fatigue parameters. The secondary objective is to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle functions in ILD on parameters such as cough, pain, exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, anxiety, depression, and quality of life.

Detailed description

Introduction: Despite having numerous data demonstrating the impact of Interstitial Airway Disease (IAD) on respiratory functions, there is a lack of studies investigating the effects of respiratory functions on parameters such as sleep quality, dyspnea, and fatigue. The primary objective of the study is to examine the effects of changes in respiratory muscle functions in IAD on sleep quality, dyspnea, and fatigue parameters. The secondary objective is to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle functions in IAD on parameters such as cough, pain, exercise capacity, peripheral muscle strength, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Methods: Between June 2020 and June 2023, 36 volunteer participants aged 18 and above, who were receiving treatment in the Department of Chest Diseases at Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, and met the inclusion criteria, were included in the project. Participants' respiratory function tests, respiratory muscle functions, dyspnea levels, cough, sleep quality, peripheral muscle strength, quality of life, exercise capacity, and fatigue levels were evaluated. Pearson Correlation Test was applied to determine the relationship between variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine factors that could affect respiratory muscle strength and endurance values.
