Is restless legs syndrome associated with chronic mountain sickness?

Highlights • Limbo subjects had the highest restless legs syndrome (RLS) severity score. • Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) subjects had the lowest oxygen saturation and the highest hematocrit values. • O2 saturation, sleep quality, and Quinghai score of >5 were associated with RLS. • RLS could be...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Limbo subjects had the highest restless legs syndrome (RLS) severity score. • Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) subjects had the lowest oxygen saturation and the highest hematocrit values. • O2 saturation, sleep quality, and Quinghai score of >5 were associated with RLS. • RLS could be an early clinical manifestation of hypoxia at high altitudes. • High-altitude dwellers could be a good model to study the role of hypoxia in RLS.
