Article Synopsis
- Iron deficiency (ID) is highly prevalent among patients with sleep/wake disorders, with 94% of the studied population affected and a strong family history component (43%).
- A significant number of patients also presented with ADHD (46%) and ASD (45%), along with other sleep conditions like chronic insomnia (61%) and sleep-disordered breathing (50%).
- The study suggests that a family history of ID increases the likelihood of sleep/wake disorders like restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients with ADHD and ASD, emphasizing the need for better diagnostic methods combining blood tests and family history assessments.
Article Synopsis
- * A review of 58 guidelines on ID revealed that only a small number addressed RLS and ADHD, with inconsistent recommendations for using ferritin as a biomarker and varying cutoff values.
- * The study highlights the need for a unified approach to understand and assess iron status and inflammation in relation to these disorders, as current guidelines lack clarity and applicability in clinical practice.
Sleep disturbances following a concussion/mild traumatic brain injury are associated with longer recovery times and more comorbidities. Sensor technologies can directly monitor sleep-related physiology and provide objective sleep metrics. This scoping review determines how sensor technologies are currently used to monitor sleep following a concussion.
