Objective: Sleep disturbance (SD) is common after pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and may predict increased postconcussive symptoms (PCS) and prolonged recovery. Our objective was to investigate the relation of SD with PCS in children with mTBI and those with orthopedic injury (OI).
Setting: Emergency departments (EDs) at 2 children's hospitals in the Midwestern United States.
Participants: Children and adolescents aged 8 to 16 years old diagnosed with either a mTBI (n = 143) or OI (n = 74) and recruited within 24 hours postinjury.
Design: Observational, prospective, concurrent cohort study with longitudinal follow-up.
Main Measures: Parents rated children's preinjury sleep retrospectively shortly after injury, and postinjury sleep at 3 and 6 months postinjury, using the Sleep Disorders Inventory for Students. Parents rated children's preinjury symptoms retrospectively in the emergency department, and parents and children rated PCS at 3 and 6 months, using the Health and Behavior Inventory and the Postconcussive Symptom Interview. Weekly ratings on the Health and Behavior Inventory were also obtained remotely.
Results: Postinjury SD was modestly but not significantly higher in the mTBI group compared to the OI group (P = .060, d = 0.32). Children with mTBI who were symptomatic postacutely based on parent ratings had worse parent-rated sleep outcomes at 3 and 6 months postinjury compared to children who were not symptomatic. Greater preinjury SD also predicted more postinjury SD and more severe PCS regardless of injury type.
Conclusions: The results suggest potential bidirectional associations between SD and PCS after mTBI. Studies of treatments for SD following pediatric mTBI are needed.

Intervention Stage Completion and Behavioral Health Outcomes: An Integrated Behavioral Health and Primary Care Randomized Pragmatic Trial.

Department of Family Medicine, University of Colorado, Denver, Colorado.
Purpose: We performed a pragmatic, cluster randomized controlled trial of a comprehensive practice-level, multistage practice transformation intervention aiming to increase behavioral health integration in primary care practices and improve patient outcomes. We examined associations between completion of intervention stages and patient outcomes across a heterogeneous national sample of primary care practices.
Methods: Forty-two primary care practices across the United States with colocated behavioral health and 2,945 patients with multiple chronic medical and behavioral health conditions completed surveys at baseline, midpoint, and 2-year follow-up.

Disturbance in sleep and activity rhythms are significant health risks associated with alcohol use during adolescence. Many investigators support the theory of a reciprocal relationship between disrupted circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and alcohol usage. However, in human studies it is difficult to disentangle other factors (i.

Objective: One of the common symptoms of mood disorders is insomnia, and the recovery processes can be negatively impacted by a lack of restorative sleep. Although factors related to restorative sleep in healthy subjects have been investigated, evaluations of these factors in patients with depression have been rarely done. Patients with depression are known to have sleep-wake state discrepancy, which can further influence their restorative sleep beyond that associated with depressive symptoms.

Background: Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder affecting millions worldwide, with significant impacts on daily functioning and quality of life. While traditionally assessed through subjective measures such as the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the advent of wearable technology has enabled continuous, objective sleep monitoring in natural environments. However, the relationship between subjective insomnia severity and objective sleep parameters remains unclear.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) may lead to heart rhythm abnormalities including bradycardia. Our aim was to ascertain clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with OSA in whom severe bradycardia was detected in an outpatient setting, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of CPAP therapy on heart rate normalization at the early stages of treatment.
Methods: Fifteen patients mild, moderate or severe OSA and concomitant bradycardia were enrolled.
