We investigated the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and cerebral metabolic mechanism of SD in AE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were retrospectively reviewed in 121 consecutively patients with definite AE. The risk factors for SD in AE were estimated by logistic regression analysis. Group comparisons based on <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-fluorodeoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (<jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG-PET) data were made between patients with and without SD, to further analyze potential brain metabolic mechanism of SD in AE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 52.9% patients (64\/121) with SD were identified. The multivariate logistic model analysis showed that smoking [odds ratio (OR), 6.774 (95% CI, 1.238\u201337.082); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.027], increased Hamilton Depression scale (HAMD) score [OR, 1.074 (95% CI, 1.002\u20131.152); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.045], hyperhomocysteinemia [OR, 2.815 (95% CI, 1.057\u20137.496); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.038], elevated neuron-specific enolase (NSE) level [OR, 1.069 (95% CI, 1.007\u20131.135); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03] were independently correlated with higher risk of SD in AE patients. Contrastingly, high MoCA score [OR, 0.821 (95% CI, 0.752\u20130.896); <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001] was associated with lower risk of SD in AE subjects. Compared to controls, AE patients had less total sleep time, less sleep efficiency, longer sleep latency, more wake, higher percent of stage N1, lower percent of stage N3 and rapid eye movement, and more arousal index in non-rapid eye movement sleep (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05 for all). Voxel-based group comparison analysis showed that, compared to patients without SD, patients with SD had increased metabolism in the basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem, median temporal lobe, thalamus, and hypothalamus [<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05, false discovery rate (FDR) corrected]; decreased metabolism in superior frontal gyrus, medial frontal gyrus, and posterior cingulate cortex (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001, uncorrected). These results were confirmed by region of interest-based analysis between PET and sleep quality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Smoking, increased HAMD score, hyperhomocysteinemia, and elevated NSE level were correlated with higher risk of SD. High MoCA score was associated with lower risk of SD in AE subjects. Moreover, a widespread metabolic network dysfunction may be involved in the pathological mechanism of SD in
