Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to find out what factors contribute to sleep-related injuries (SRI) and persistent sleep-related injuries (pSRI) in patients with isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD).
  • A retrospective review of 388 iRBD patients showed that 83% reported a history of SRI, with some suffering severe injuries, and factors like depressive symptoms, alcohol consumption, and certain EMG activity were linked to these injuries.
  • Despite treatment, 18% of patients continued to experience pSRI over an average follow-up of 5.1 years, highlighting the need for better safety measures and targeted screening for those at risk.

A total of 140 young adults with variable language experiences were scanned using magnetic resonance imaging and completed demographic questionnaires.
