However, it was still unclear whether PLMS, one kind of sleep disturbances, was associated with chronic tinnitus or not. Thus, we aimed to investigate this issue in humans. Clinical and overnight polysomnographic data of 2849 adults from a community hospital during Nov. 2011 to Jun 2017 in Taiwan was collected retrospectively. The association of PLMS and chronic tinnitus was analyzed by Student\u2019s t-test, Pearson\u2019s Chi-Square test, and multivariate logistic regression. The results showed that <jats:bold>t<\/jats:bold>he mean age was 50.6 years old (standard deviation, SD\u2009=\u200913.3, range\u2009=\u200918~91) for all subjects. There were 1886 subjects without tinnitus and 963 subjects with tinnitus in this study. The PLMS was not significantly different between subjects without tinnitus (mean\u2009=\u20091.0\/h, SD\u2009=\u20093.5\/h) and subjects with tinnitus mean\u2009=\u20091.1\/h, SD\u2009=\u20093.4\/h) by Student\u2019s t-test. The severity of PLMS was not significantly between non-tinnitus and tinnitus subjects by Pearson\u2019s Chi-Square test. Multivariate logistic regression also showed that PLMS was not significantly associated with tinnitus after adjusting age, sex, subjective hearing loss, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and insomnia. In conclusion, PLMS was not associated with chronic tinnitus in humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-62987-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]],"date-time":"2020-04-06T10:02:55Z","timestamp":1586167375000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association of periodic limb movements during sleep and tinnitus in humans"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Sheng-Wei","family":"Hwang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yia-Chi","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shang-Rung","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1873-2472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juen-Haur","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"62987_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0127578","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0127578","volume":"10","author":"HJ Kim","year":"2015","unstructured":"Kim, H.
