[PMID: 36356647 DOI: 10.1016/j.alcohol.2022.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Insomnia is common among patients with AUD and can impair quality of life and cognitive functioning, as well as cause psycho-social problems and increased risk of relapse. Nonetheless, determinants of insomnia in patients with AUD have scarcely been studied. We aimed to examine prevalence and development of self-perceived insomnia among inpatients in treatment for AUD, and to examine factors in this group known to be associated with sleep disturbance in the general population. We examined self-reported information about sleep from 94 AUD inpatients in long-term treatment (up to 9 months) using a questionnaire identifying probable insomnia. Potential predictors identified in bivariate tests were used in binomial logistic regressions to examine the effect on sleep at baseline and at 6-week follow-up. Longitudinal multilevel analyses were used to examine factors affecting development of sleep quality during the treatment stay. At baseline, 54% of the patients reported sleep problems indicating insomnia. This was reduced to 35% at 6-week follow-up. In a cross-sectional analysis of sleep at baseline, we found that being male (OR 0.18, p = 0.042) and engaging in physical activity (OR 0.09, p < 0.001) were negatively associated with insomnia, while a high level of depressive symptoms (OR 1.10, p = 0.010) was positively associated after adjustment for age, history of trauma, and severity of dependence. Multilevel analyses of data over a 6-month period showed time interactions with physical activity, such that sleep improvement was greater in patients who initially had a low level of physical activity. This longitudinal study corroborates findings of high prevalence of insomnia among AUD patients and identifies factors in this group associated with insomnia, such as sex, depression, and physical activity. Future longitudinal studies are needed to examine the causal directions between sleep, depression, and physical activity and how these might be targeted in clinical settings.

Distinct Sleep Alterations in Alcohol Use Disorder Patients with and without Korsakoff's Syndrome: Relationship with Episodic Memory. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062440. [PMID: 36983439 PMCID: PMC10058993 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12062440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) results in sleep disturbances that may have deleterious impacts on cognition, especially on memory. However, little is known about the sleep architecture in patients with Korsakoff's syndrome (KS). This study aims at characterizing sleep disturbances in KS compared to AUD without KS and at specifying the relationships with cognitive impairments. Twenty-nine AUD patients (22 without KS and 7 with KS) and 15 healthy controls underwent a neuropsychological assessment and a polysomnography. The severity of sleep-disordered breathing and sleep fragmentation was similar in AUD and KS patients compared to controls. Sleep architecture differed between both patient groups: the proportion of slow-wave sleep was reduced in AUD patients only, while a lower proportion of rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep was specifically observed in KS patients. The proportion of REM sleep correlated with the severity of episodic memory deficits when AUD and KS were examined together. These data provide evidence for both similarities and specificities regarding sleep alterations in AUD patients with and without KS. They also indicate that altered sleep architecture may contribute to the pathophysiology of alcohol-related memory disorders.

Abstract
Chronotype reflects individual differences in circadian rhythms and influences individual psychology and behavior. Previous studies found altered subcortical structures are closely related to individual chronotypes. However, these studies have been conducted mainly using voxel-based morphometry and traditional volume measurement methods with certain limitations. This study aimed to investigate subcortical aberrant volume and shape patterns in late chronotypes (LC) young adults compared to early chronotypes (EC) young adults. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning and chronotype assessment were performed once for all participants, including 49 LC young adults and 49 matched EC young adults. The morningness and eveningness preferences were assessed using the Chronotype Questionnaire. A vertex-wise shape analysis was conducted to analyze structural MRI data. There were no significant differences in brain tissue volume and subcortical structural volume between groups. LC young adults showed significant regional shape atrophy in the left ventral posterior thalamus compared to EC individuals. A significant correlation was found between the regional shape atrophy of left ventral posterior thalamus and the score of Chronotype Questionnaire in LC young adults. Regional shape alteration of left thalamus was closely related to the chronotype, and LC may be a potential risk factor for sleep-related behavioral and mental problems in young adults. However, the predominantly female sample and the failure to investigate the effect of chronotype on the subcortical structure-function network are limitations of this study. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate the temporal characteristics of thalamic shape changes and consequent behavioral and psychiatric problems in adults with LC.

Health Qual Life Outcomes 2022; 20:149. [PMID: 36310156 PMCID: PMC9620657 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-022-02058-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important clinical outcome in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and is considered as a relevant indicator of treatment success. While a better understanding of the factors affecting HRQoL would enable to adjust patients’ care to favour treatment outcome, the determinants of HRQoL in AUD remain unclear. This study aims at describing HRQoL in AUD patients and at identifying its best predictors. Methods 53 recently detoxified patients with severe AUD (sAUD) underwent a cognitive assessment and filled in a HRQoL questionnaire dedicated to AUD patients (Alcohol Quality of Life Scale; AQoLS), as well as questionnaires concerning socio-demographics, alcohol history, sleep quality, depression, anxiety and impulsivity. 38 healthy controls (HC) underwent the same assessment (except AQoLS) in order to identify the altered cognitive and clinical variables that could potentially be determinants of HRQoL in sAUD. Results sAUD patients reported that alcohol affects their HRQoL mainly in the “negative emotions”, “control”, “relationships”, and “sleep” domains. Compared to HC, they were impaired on episodic memory, working memory, executive functions, and processing speed tasks. They also reported lower sleep quality, higher depression, anxiety and impulsivity. No association was found between AQoLS total score and socio-demographics, cognitive performance, or sleep quality in patients. We found a significant correlation between HRQoL and depression/anxiety as well as impulsivity. Anxiety and impulsivity were indeed the only significant predictors of HRQoL, explaining 47.7% of the variance. Conclusion Anxiety and impulsivity are crucial determinants of HRQoL in recently detoxified sAUD patients. Since anxiety and impulsivity are frequent issues in addiction and especially in AUD, they should be particularly considered by clinicians to favour treatment outcomes.

Abstract
How disrupted sleep contributes to cognitive dysfunction over the dynamic course of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is an emerging topic of investigation. Here, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate subjective sleep in 90 individuals with AUD sober for an average of 3 months and in 50 healthy controls. Relative to controls, AUD individuals had higher global PSQI scores (worse sleep), higher scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), worse Quality of Life (QoL) indicators, and poorer performance on cognitive composite tests (executive functioning, attention and working memory, visual and verbal learning or memory). Among AUD individuals, a higher PSQI score correlated with a higher BDI scores and worse QoL, but not with cognitive scales. Also noted in the AUD group were higher global PSQI scores in individuals also diagnosed with major depressive (MDD) or generalized anxiety (GAD) disorders. Together, the 4 variables explained 29.8% of the variance in AUD PSQI scores. In women with AUD, the 4 factors explained 39.3% of the variance in PSQI scores; in AUD men, the 4 measures explained 19.9% of the variance: MDD was salient in women, QoL in men with AUD suggesting differential factors associate with poor sleep in men and women with AUD even with sustained alcohol abstinence. Here, global PSQI scores were related to clinical diagnoses and life functioning but failed to predict cognitive performance in abstinent AUD individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association between total alcohol intake, specific alcoholic beverages and sleep quality in a community-based cohort. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING The Kailuan community, China. PARTICIPANTS Included were 11 905 participants who were free of a history of CVD, cancer, Parkinson's disease, dementia and head injury in or prior to 2012. Alcohol consumption (amount and frequency intake) and alcoholic beverage type were collected in 2006 (baseline) and 2012. Participants were grouped into non-, light- (women: 0-0·4 serving/d; men: 0-0·9 serving/d), moderate- (women: 0·5-1·0 serving/d; men: 1·0-2·0 servings/d) and heavy- (women: >1·0 servings/d; men: >2·0 servings/d) drinkers. Overall sleep quality was measured in 2012 and included four sleep parameters (insomnia, daytime sleepiness, sleep duration, snoring/obstructive sleep apnoea). RESULTS We observed a dose-response association between higher alcohol consumption in 2006 and worse sleep quality in 2012 (Ptrend < 0·001), after adjusting for age, sex, socio-economic status, smoking status, physical activity, obesity, plasma lipid profiles, diabetes and hypertension. A similar association was observed when alcohol consumption in 2012 was used as exposure. Alcohol was associated with higher odds of having short sleep duration (adjusted OR for heavy- v. non-drinkers = 1·31; 95 % CI: 1·09, 1·57) and snoring (adjusted OR for heavy- v. non-drinkers: 1·38; 95 % CI: 1·22, 1·57). Consumption of hard liquor, but not beer or wine, was significantly associated with poor sleep quality. CONCLUSIONS Higher alcohol consumption was associated with poorer sleep quality and higher odds of having snoring and short sleep duration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate cognitive and brain changes in patients with Korsakoff syndrome (KS) over months and up to 10 years after the diagnosis. METHODS Two groups of 8 patients with KS underwent neuropsychological, motor, and neuroimaging investigations, including structural MRI and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET. The KSC group, recruited at Caen University Hospital, was examined early after the KS diagnosis (KSC-T1) and 1 year later (KSC-T2). The KSR group, recruited at nursing home at Roubaix, was evaluated 10 years after the diagnosis. Longitudinal comparisons in KSC explored short-term changes, while cross-sectional comparisons between KSC-T1 and KSR informed about long-term changes. RESULTS No cognitive, motor, or brain deterioration occurred over time in patients with KS. There was no clear improvement either, with only modest recovery in the frontocerebellar circuit. Compared to the norms, KSC-T1 had severe episodic memory impairments, ataxia, and some executive dysfunctions. They also presented widespread atrophy and hypometabolism as well as cerebellar hypermetabolism compared to 44 healthy matched controls. Episodic memory remained significantly impaired in KSC-T2 and KSR. Contrary to KSC at T1 and T2, KSR had preserved inhibition abilities. Atrophy was similar but less extended in KSC-T2 and even more limited in KSR. At all times, the thalamus, hypothalamus, and fornix remained severely atrophied. Hypometabolism was still widespread in KSC-T2 and KSR, notably affecting the diencephalon. Cerebellar metabolism decreased over time and normalized in KSR, whereas motor dysfunction persisted. CONCLUSION In KS, structural and metabolic alterations of the Papez circuit persisted over time, in accordance with the irreversible nature of amnesia. There was neither significant recovery as observed in patients with alcohol use disorder nor progressive decline as in neurodegenerative diseases.

[PMID: 33578081 DOI: 10.1016/j.smrv.2021.101435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Cognitive and brain alterations are common in alcohol use disorder and vary importantly from one patient to another. Sleep disturbances are also very frequent in these patients and remain largely neglected even though they can persist after drinking cessation. Sleep disturbances may be the consequence of specific brain alterations, resulting in cognitive impairments. But sleep disruption may also exacerbate alcohol-related brain abnormalities and cognitive deficits through common pathophysiological mechanisms. Besides, sleep disturbances seem a vulnerability factor for the development of alcohol use disorder. From a clinical perspective, sleep disturbances are known to affect treatment outcome and to increase the risk of relapse. In this article, we conducted a narrative review to provide a better understanding of the relationships between sleep disturbances, brain and cognition in alcohol use disorder. We suggest that the heterogeneity of brain and cognitive alterations observed in patients with alcohol use disorder could at least partially be explained by associated sleep disturbances. We also believe that sleep disruption could indirectly favor relapse by exacerbating neuropsychological impairments required in psychosocial treatment and for the maintenance of abstinence. Implications for clinical practice as well as perspectives for future research are proposed.

The effect of alcohol withdrawal syndrome severity on sleep, brain and cognition. Brain Commun 2020; 2:fcaa123. [PMID: 33543128 PMCID: PMC7846181 DOI: 10.1093/braincomms/fcaa123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
In alcohol use disorder, drinking cessation is frequently associated with an alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Early in abstinence (within the first 2 months after drinking cessation), when patients do not exhibit physical signs of alcohol withdrawal syndrome anymore (such as nausea, tremor or anxiety), studies report various brain, sleep and cognitive alterations, highly heterogeneous from one patient to another. While the acute neurotoxicity of alcohol withdrawal syndrome is well-known, its contribution to structural brain alterations, sleep disturbances and neuropsychological deficits observed early in abstinence has never been investigated and is addressed in this study. We included 54 alcohol use disorder patients early in abstinence (from 4 to 21 days of sobriety) and 50 healthy controls. When acute physical signs of alcohol withdrawal syndrome were no longer present, patients performed a detailed neuropsychological assessment, a T1-weighted MRI and a polysomnography for a subgroup of patients. According to the severity of the clinical symptoms collected during the acute withdrawal period, patients were subsequently classified as mild alcohol withdrawal syndrome (mild-AWS) patients (Cushman score ≤ 4, no benzodiazepine prescription, N = 17) or moderate alcohol withdrawal syndrome (moderate-AWS) patients (Cushman score > 4, benzodiazepine prescription, N = 37). Patients with severe withdrawal complications (delirium tremens or seizures) were not included. Mild-AWS patients presented similar grey matter volume and sleep quality as healthy controls, but lower processing speed and episodic memory performance. Compared to healthy controls, moderate-AWS patients presented non-rapid eye movement sleep alterations, widespread grey matter shrinkage and lower performance for all the cognitive domains assessed (processing speed, short-term memory, executive functions and episodic memory). Moderate-AWS patients presented a lower percentage of slow-wave sleep, grey matter atrophy in fronto-insular and thalamus/hypothalamus regions, and lower short-term memory and executive performance than mild-AWS patients. Mediation analyses revealed both direct and indirect (via fronto-insular and thalamus/hypothalamus atrophy) relationships between poor sleep quality and cognitive performance. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome severity, which reflects neurotoxic hyperglutamatergic activity, should be considered as a critical factor for the development of non-rapid eye movement sleep alterations, fronto-insular atrophy and executive impairments in recently detoxified alcohol use disorder patients. The glutamatergic activity is involved in sleep-wake circuits and may thus contribute to molecular mechanisms underlying alcohol-related brain damage, resulting in cognitive deficits. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome severity and sleep quality deserve special attention for a better understanding and treatment of brain and cognitive alterations observed early in abstinence, and ultimately for more efficient relapse prevention strategies.
