過眠症の診断基準(終夜睡眠ポリグラフ検査PSG+反復睡眠潜時検査MSLT)の問題点についての引用文献

現在の過眠症の診断基準では健常者の約22〜30%(3〜5人に1人)が過眠症(特発性過眠症)が陽性になってしまう問題点などについて、引用文献のまとめを作成いたしました。

現在、特発性過眠症の診断に使用されている終夜睡眠ポリグラフ検査PSGや反復睡眠潜時検査MSLTなどの基準は健常者の一般人口でも約22〜30%が過眠症が陽性になるものです。
更に、それらの検査が過去に一度検査が陽性であった方でも4年以内の再検査で40%以上が陰性になります。

これらの問題は下記に記載の多くの研究で取り上げられてきた事実であり、かつ反説を述べた文献が見当たりません。

現在、「過眠症の診断基準であるPSGやMSLTは様々な研究で有用性が支持されているので毎日8時間睡眠をとって検査をすれば誤診なんて起きない」とおっしゃられる方(時には医療関係者様)がいらっしゃることがありますが、下記の引用文献を呈して「具体的に何が支持をされているのでしょうか」とお伺いをすると回答が返せないような状態です。

MSLTは1976年、特発性過眠症の名前が歴史上初めて世間に発表された時に既に存在していた検査です。否定的な論文がこれだけ存在している中で肯定的な論文は発表されていません。



下記の文献の反説を述べた具体的な研究があるのであれば是非ご教授いただきたいと思います。

“This results in significant overlap between mean sleep latency values among healthy controls and populations with excessive sleepiness. Pooled data from normal subjects across all ages using the 4 or 5 nap MSLT with sleep onset defined as the latency to the first epoch of any sleep stage, give a mean sleep latency of 10.4 +/- 4.3 minutes and 11.6 +/- 5.2 minutes, respectively.”

過眠症の診断の際の反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)の検査前に1日8時間睡眠をとることで「睡眠不足を除外診断した」ということにしている睡眠クリニックが多く存在します。

しかし、その基準はだいぶ問題です。例えば、下記にMSLTの過眠症の診断基準を満たす方が1日8時間の睡眠時間をとってもMSLTの結果が陰性にならないという研究発表があります。一方で同一グループに長期間で1日10時間よりも多い睡眠時間をとった場合にMSLTの入眠潜時が大きく改善し、MSLTの結果が陰性になるという研究があります。

ナルコレプシーの診断基準に関して、健常者の一般人口でも約〜13%が入眠レム睡(SOREM)2回の診断基準を満たすという研究があります。

反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)平均入眠潜時8分以内と入眠レム睡眠(SOREM)2回以上というナルコレプシーの診断基準も一般人口で約2~4%が満たします。

 

“In one sample of 539 subjects, 3.9% had 2 or more SOREMPs, and 2.5% of subjects met MSLT criteria for narcolepsy with mean sleep latencies ≤ 8 minutes plus ≥ 2 SOREMPs. [2] These findings suggest that in the general population, SOREMPs are not uncommon, especially in subjects with EDS.

A separate cohort study of 556 subjects found a surprisingly high prevalence of positive MSLTs, especially in men [3]: 13.1% of men had ≥ 2 SOREMPs, and 4.1% met the criteria for narcolepsy with ≥ 2 SOREMPs, a mean sleep latency ≤ 8 minutes, and subjective sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale score > 10). These findings were especially common in shift workers. In contrast, 5.6% of women had ≥ 2 SOREMPs, but only 0.4% had positive MSLTs plus subjective sleepiness. It is possible that some of these subjects have Na-2, but none had cataplexy. A more likely explanation is that the MSLT can produce false-positive results, especially in shift workers.”

”However, studies as early as 1997 by Aldrich et al., [15] and later in population-based samples, [16–18] suggested that widespread administration of the MSLT was bound to generate an increased number of false positives, estimated at 2.5% to 4.7% in large case series, [15–19] due, in part, to the high frequency of sleep apnea diagnoses in patients presenting to sleep clinics. [19] Extended studies in large sets of population-based controls16–18 have also shown that the MSLT can also be confounded by shift work or circadian misalignment, and to a lesser extent by chronic sleep restriction.

“We report on the prevalence and correlates of SOREMPs in the community-based Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study. MSLTs were conducted following nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) and daily sleep diaries in 289 males and 267 females (age 35–70, 97% Caucasians). Multiple SOREMPs were observed in 13.1% of males and 5.6% of females. An MSLT mean sleep latency ≤8 min and ≥2 SOREMPs (diagnostic of narcolepsy) was observed in 5.9% (males) and 1.1% (females), all without cataplexy.”

 

“Our finding of high SOREMP prevalence in a representative sample also agrees with more recent, largely unpublished data in healthy individuals. Bishop et al. (1996) studied 139 healthy, drug-free volunteers without sleep-related symptoms, medical or psychiatric conditions. These volunteers were young (mean age = 33) subjects without habitual napping habits wanting to enter pharmacological protocols. NPSG indicated no sleep apnea and adequate TST. A surprisingly high prevalence of ≥2 SOREMPs (24 subjects, 17%) was observed. As in our study, subjects with multiple SOREMP were mostly male (75 versus 47%). Multiple SOREMP was found to be related to MSL during the MSLT but not to subjective reports of daytime sleepiness, as evaluated using the EPW scale. This report generated a considerable amount of controversy (Rye and Bliwise, 1997) and was largely ignored. Since then, however, two studies, published as abstracts, have also suggested a high prevalence of SOREMPs in normal individuals. In the first, Geisler et al. (1998) studied 100 normal volunteers aged 20–69 years old selected on the basis of an absence of any sleep problems and excessive daytime sleepiness, and found 11% with ≥1 SOREMPs and 3% with ≥2 SOREMPs. Most recently, Singh et al. (2005) studied 539 subjects, 333 of whom were randomly selected and 206 subjectively sleepy, and found that 3.9% had ≥2 SOREMPs. In this study, short sleep latency on the MSLT but not NPSG TST or EPW predicted ≥2 SOREMPs. Together with the present study, these preliminary reports indicate that the high prevalence of ≥2 SOREMP is not limited to patients with sleep disorders (e.g. sleep apnea), but extend to the general population.”

過眠症の反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)の問題は再検査をすることにより、特発性過眠症であるかナルコレプシーであるかの両者の間で診断名が変わるだけではありません。

特発性過眠症やナルコレプシー2型の診断を受ける40%以上の人が平均4年間の間に再検査で「過眠症かそうではないか」の閾値である「MSLT8分以内か以上か」の結果が変わってしまいます。

 

“MSLT-based diagnoses of narcolepsy without cataplexy and idiopathic hypersomnia demonstrated poor stability in clinical practice among patients evaluated in a tertiary clinic. Diagnoses changed in half of patients over an average of four years. This occurred because of changes in both sleepiness level (i.e., the MSL) and the propensity for REM sleep (i.e., SOREMs). Over 40% of patients had a change in MSL that crossed the conventional hypersomnia threshold of 8 minutes.”

反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)では長時間睡眠を伴う特発性過眠症の半数以上の患者さんの検査結果が10分以上です。このことに関しては世界で一番大きな特発性過眠症(過眠症)の研究啓発機関からも発表されています。

 

“Spontaneous sleep periods of up to 19 hours have been reported in idiopathic hypersomnia, despite a normal MSL (11 mins). [47] With regards to the MSLT and 24-hr continuous ad libitum sleep polysomnography Billiard said in his paper, Idiopathic Hypersomnia [39];”

 

“Perhaps the most significant difference between the two groups is that while all the patients without long sleep had MSL <8 min, “71% of patients with long sleep time have normal MSL (MSL > 8 min) during MSLT, reinforcing the idea that the latter test is poorly sensitive for diagnosing hypersomnia”. [2] In fact, more than half of the patients with long sleep time had MSL > 10 min. ‘These results support the idea that hypersomniacs would not fall asleep as quickly as narcoleptic patients (i.e., without rapid shift from wakefulness to sleep). In contrast, they would have difficulty waking spontaneously after sleep (i.e., difficulty shifting from sleep to wake), which could result in severe cases in sleep drunkenness.’ [2]”

長時間睡眠を伴う完全型の形態の特発性過眠症は遺伝要素が強く、夜間の睡眠が長時間に及ぶことや起床困難などのその他一連の諸症状が一貫しています。このような理由で長時間睡眠を伴う完全型の形態のみが本物の特発性過眠症であるという説が支持を得ています。

 

“Polygraphically we found a significantly longer duration of night sleep in the complete form when the subjects were allowed to sleep at will. According to the characteristic difficulty waking up, it could be that the complete form is the only genuine idiopathic hypersomnia and that the incomplete form awaits further study. [39]”

 

“Another interesting point in Billiard’s study is that a marked family pattern has been evidenced by different authors and that their ‘results are similar and emphasize the very strong genetic component of idiopathic hypersomnia’. Bassetti and Dauvilliers have stated that Idiopathic Hypersomnia can present in families, although these individuals are more likely to have long sleep time. [46]“

研究者から「ナルコレプシー2型がナルコレプシーなのは名前だけではないか?ナルコレプシー2型がナルコレプシーなのは反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)という検査がその結果を示すということのみによってのみではないか?」という疑問が上がっています。

 

“Since hypocretin/orexin deficiency has been found to be unique in N1 and the knowledge that there is no test that can confidently diagnosis N2 and no biomarkers that can identify it, it has been asked, is N2 actually narcolepsy, or more specifically ‘does N2 only exist because of the existence of the MSLT and the at-time controversial results it yields?’ Is N2, narcolepsy in name only? “

“I believe idiopathic hypersomnia & Narcolepsy Type 2 to be the same disease”

-M. Partinen 2017 World Sleep Society Congress in Prague.

 

 

“the present study gives credit to those in favour of merging the former IH w/o LST and narcolepsy type 2 into a single condition, combining monosymptomatic hypersomnia/narcolepsy type 2, and considering polysymptomatic hypersomnia (formerly IH with LST) as a unique form of idiopathic hypersomnia.”

“Our results suggest that continued adherence to the 8-minute MSL threshold in defining hypersomnia syndromes in clinical practice is problematic. The distinction between narcolepsy without cataplexy and idiopathic hypersomnia based on MSLT testing alone also does not appear justified. “

世界で一番歴史のある特発性過眠症の研究啓発団体が「エプワース眠気尺度と反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)は有用な検査ではないことが判明している」と発表しており「これらの検査の結果を持って特発性過眠症の長時間睡眠を伴う型と伴わない型とが同一のカテゴリーにされているというのは皮肉です」という見解を発表しています。

 

“It is therefore ironic that the ICSD3 “now pools both conditions (with and without long sleep time) into one heterogeneous condition because researchers were unable to objectively separate both forms of the disease based on the length of nocturnal sleep; patients above the cut-off of 10 hours of sleep showed no significant differences in daytime sleepiness assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)..” [46] considering that neither the ESS or the MSLT have been found to be reliable objective tests.”

“This results in significant overlap between mean sleep latency values among healthy controls and populations with excessive sleepiness. Pooled data from normal subjects across all ages using the 4 or 5 nap MSLT with sleep onset defined as the latency to the first epoch of any sleep stage, give a mean sleep latency of 10.4 +/- 4.3 minutes and 11.6 +/- 5.2 minutes, respectively.”

“These papers report a total of 92 patients with idiopathic hypersomnia with a weighted mean sleep latency of 6.2 +/-3.0 minutes. This value is intermediate between those reported for patients with narcolepsy and normal control subjects [6.2.3]. These values suggest that differentiation of sleepiness due to idiopathic hypersomnia from the sleepiness seen in normal controls may be difficult.”

“Some studies of sleep extension suggest it is detrimental. These studies show increases in subjective measures of daytime sleepiness and reduced performance efficiency on vigilance and complex psychomotor tasks in healthy young adults who extended bedtimes from the usual 8 to 10 or 11 h for 1-2 nights (4-7). However, studies that have used the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) to assess the effects of sleep extension found improvements in daytime sleepiness/alertness after bedtime was increased to 10 h for 4 consecutive nights (8,9).”

特発性過眠症は過去に様々な別の研究グループが独自で定めた別の診断基準を使いその疾患を診断、定義してきたものであり、一部では行動誘発性睡眠不足症候群や軽度の無呼吸症候群や精神疾患に伴う過眠が除外されていなかったこともあると発表されています。

 

“Different research groups have historically used different diagnostic criteria, making comparisons across studies difficult. This is particularly true of case series that did not exclude mild forms of sleep-disordered breathing, behaviourally induced insufficient sleep syndrome, and hypersomnia associated with psychiatric disorders. ”

特発性過眠症は医療関係者にすら勘違いを受けている疾患であることが世界で一番歴史のある特発性過眠症の研究啓発団体から発表されています

 

“Idiopathic Hypersomnia is one of the most misunderstood and under-researched sleep disorders. Some people (including doctors) incorrectly think it refers to any case of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) that cannot be explained by another preexisting medical condition, sleep disorder or by lifestyle or behaviour. This is not correct. Idiopathic Hypersomnia is characterised by a number of symptoms and clinical features. Daytime sleepiness is just one of them.”

特発性過眠症の有病率に関して、過去に各医療機関の特発性過眠症とナルコレプシーの有病率を調査し、ナルコレプシーの人口比率と比較することにより特発性過眠症の一般の有病率を推測しようとした研究がいくつかあります。しかし、全ての医療機関でその有病率の推定結果が大きな差のあるものとなっており、特発性過眠症の有病率に関する発表は特発性過眠症の診断基準に問題提起をしているものとなっています。

 

“In a large series published in 2007, patients with idiopathic hyper- somnia represented 1% of 6000 patients seen at a single respiratory sleep center. Because idiopathic hypersomnia is 60% as prevalent as narcolepsy, questions about the diagnostic accuracy arise.”

反復睡眠潜時検査(MSLT)は睡眠不足症候群とナルコレプシー1型の診断基準としてはある程度有用なものです。しかし、この検査はそれ以外の過眠の症状を診断するには不適切です。

 

“Although the MSLT is sensitive to sleep deprivation and a clinically useful objective tool for NT1, it may not be the best test for other pathologies of excessive daytime sleepiness according to ICSD-3 criteria.”

 

”test-retest reliability of the MSLT outside the context of NT1 appears poor. [24]“

今の過眠症の制度(診断、治療とその治療に対する結果)はナルコレプシーを主軸として作られているものです。しかし、それらの制度は特発性過眠症には当てはまらないと言われています。

 

“It is the view of some clinician-scientists that ‘narcolepsy is the prism that sleepiness is always viewed and therefore defines how diagnosis, treatments and outcome measures are framed however this framing is not appropriate for idiopathic hypersomnia not least of all because narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia are not the same disorder’.

“Education of physicians, but also of sleep specialists is important. Because many of them still rely on the MSLT to diagnose this disorder. While long term monitoring (evaluating how much sleep the patient can produce during 24h in a sleep lab, which is greater than 11hr in most of them, if not 14-15h) is much more sensitive.”
