Associations Between Sleep Quality, Anxiety, Depression, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in a Tertiary Hospital Sleep Center: A Retrospective Study
Results reaffirm that anxiety, depression, and poor sleep quality are significantly associated with probable GERD. However, given the cross-sectional design, causal relationships cannot be established. The combined use of HADS and PSQI may enhance GERD risk identification, suggesting that individuals with psychological and/or sleep disturbances should consider gastroenterological evaluation.
