AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the effects of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) on sleep using polysomnography, focusing on various sleep parameters across two nights in a controlled environment.
- - Results showed that ABPM significantly increased N2 sleep duration but did not negatively impact overall sleep quality, as participants did not find the ABPM night worse than the control night.
- - Additionally, there were no significant differences in total sleep time, sleep latency, or other sleep parameters, indicating that ABPM can be used without major concerns about disrupting sleep.
Article Abstract
Background: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is considered the gold standard for assessing blood pressure; however, its use may potentially disrupt sleep. Previous studies have produced mixed results on the impact of ABPM on sleep parameters and used actigraphy as the evaluating tool. To date, no studies have investigated the effects of ABPM on sleep parameters evaluated through polysomnography.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of ABPM on objectively assessed sleep parameters.
Methods: We evaluated five women and five men (age: 38.0 ± 15.0 years; BMI: 27.0 ± 3.5 kg/m²) using full polysomnography over two nights in a sleep laboratory-one night with ABPM and one night without it, with nocturnal assessments every 30 min. The order of the conditions was randomized, with intervals between nights ranging from 3 to 10 days.
Results: N2 sleep was significantly longer during the night with ABPM compared to the night without it (66.4 ± 12.4% vs. 57.7 ± 11.3%, p < 0.003). Conversely, the apnea-hypopnea index was higher on the night without ABPM (13.1 ± 21.2 vs. 10.5 ± 19.8 events/hour, p < 0.005). Participants did not rate the night with ABPM as worse than the night without, and no significant differences were observed in total sleep time, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, number of awakenings, or time awake after sleep onset.
Conclusions: ABPM does not appear to adversely affect significant objective sleep parameters or subjective evaluations of sleep quality.

Background: In cohort studies with time-to-event outcomes, covariates of interest often have values that change over time. The classical Cox regression model can handle time-dependent covariates but assumes linear effects on the log hazard function, which can be limiting in practice. Furthermore, when multiple correlated covariates are studied, it is of great interest to model their joint effects by allowing a flexible functional form and to delineate their relative contributions to survival risk.

Objective/background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease, which poses a significant health threat. Initial diagnostics with polygraphy or polysomnography are time consuming and expensive. Therefore, there is an unmet medical need for simplification, especially to exclude healthy patients from elaborate and unnecessary diagnostics.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by frequent pauses or shallow breathing during sleep. Polysomnography, the gold standard for OSA assessment, is time consuming and labor intensive, thus limiting diagnostic efficiency.
Objective: This study aims to develop 2 sequential machine learning models to efficiently screen and differentiate OSA.

Objective: To explore the relationship between different patterns of multimorbidity and the use of sleeping medications in women.
Methods: Population-based cross-sectional study with 1,128 women (aged 20-69 years) in Southern Brazil. Data on sleeping medications were obtained from the question "Do you take/use any medication to be able to sleep?" and identified by the Anatomical Therapeutic and Chemical classification.
