Objective: Sleep disorders, chronic pain, and fatigue have been long-standing torments in most patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this review, we attempted to explore whether these nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors are associated with increased mortality in patients with CKD.

Method: Electronic searches were performed in MEDLINE (PubMed, 1966-2018), EMBASE (1974-2018), ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. All prospective or retrospective studies were considered eligible if they were cohort or observational studies and the final outcome was all-cause death or mortality.

Results: We ultimately included 18 studies (12 studies on sleep disorders, three studies on chronic pain, and three studies on fatigue) in our review. Pooled analysis of all studies indicated that patients with sleep disorders, chronic pain, and fatigue had increased risks of all-cause mortality (risk ratio [RR] = 1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.30-1.66, p < 0.0001; RR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.27-1.31, p < 0.0001; RR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.23-1.70, p < 0.0001, respectively). Pooled results from four studies indicated that dialysis patients with sleep-disordered breathing had increased cardiovascular disease outcomes (RR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.74-3.44, p < 0.0001).

Conclusion: Sleep disorders, chronic pain, and fatigue are remarkably associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. Large clinical randomized controlled trials are required to further confirm the results of our meta-analysis.

Background: More research is needed to understand psychopathology among parents of children with mental disorders in the years before and after the child is diagnosed. Here, we estimated the risk of mental disorders and psychotropic medication use in parents of children with versus without mental disorders and the temporal associations between child and parental psychopathology.

Methods: We conducted a population-based matched cohort study using Danish register data.

Initiation of Psychotropic Drugs in Spouses of Patients With Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease: A Matched Cohort Study.

Int J Geriatr Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Pharmacoepidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine and Public Health, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

Objectives: The diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) can cause emotional stress not only to the patients themselves but also to their spouses. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of psychiatric disorders in spouses of EOAD patients, using psychotropic drug initiation as a surrogate indicator.

Methods: A cohort study was conducted using a Japanese claims database, with spouses of EOAD patients (exposed spouses) matched with spouses of non-EOAD individuals (reference spouses) up to a 1:10 ratio.

Background: Sleep disturbance is a common concern among stroke survivors, yet the association of sleep duration and sleep disorders with post-stroke depression and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remains elusive. We aimed to explore these associations using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods: Adult stroke survivors from NHANES 2005-2018 were included.

Association between obstructive sleep apnea and hyperuricemia/gout in the general population: a cross-sectional study.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, Soonchunhyang University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Hyperuricemia and gout may be associated with OSA, but large-scale studies on this are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between hyperuricemia/gout and OSA using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES).
