Sleep disorders (SDs) are frequently seen in patients with liver cirrhosis. Polysomnography (PSG), actigraphy, and electroencephalogram (EEG) are the common objective methods to diagnose SDs. The most commonly used subjective methods are the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). We aimed to evaluate the effect of liver transplantation (LTx) on SDs using a combination of objective (PSG and EEG) and subjective (PSQI and ESS) methods.
