Summary: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of insomnia symptoms in caregivers of adult hospitalized patients and investigate the relationships between insomnia symptoms and patient and caregiver-associated factors. Among the 152 caregivers enrolled, 45.4% reported insomnia symptoms. Comparison analyses showed that caregivers with insomnia symptoms had higher burden, anxiety and depression, patients' neuropsychiatric symptoms, lower resilience, and social support. Regression analysis found significant associations between insomnia symptoms and anxiety, caregiver education level, and a trend towards significance with patients' neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Summary: Actigraphy has been widely used as a cost-effective and easy-to-use tool for ambulatory sleep recording. However, there is little evidence to support the use of actigraphy in diagnosing or treating insomnia. This study found that actigraphy sleep estimates and circadian patterns failed to differentiate patients with insomnia from controls in the home environment, suggesting a need for alternative indicators of sleep quality in insomnia research.

Summary: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are important for shared decision making and research, but there is a lack of consensus on which PROs and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to use in diabetes. This narrative review provides recommendations for relevant PROs to measure, such as disease-specific symptoms and general symptoms, and suggests the use of generic PROMs supplemented with disease-specific PROMs. However, further validation studies are needed for diabetes-specific PROMs. Standardization and use of psychometrically sound PROMs can improve healthcare for people with diabetes.

Summary: A new line of insomnia research explores the developmental trajectories from early life stress to insomnia in adulthood. The findings indicate that adverse childhood experiences (ACE's) may lead to maladaptive coping styles and chronic hyperarousal or insomnia. The study also suggests that trauma and emotional processing should be considered in the treatment of insomnia.

Summary: The minimal important difference (MID) is the smallest change or difference that patients perceive as important to interpret patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scores. A credibility instrument for anchor-based MID assessment typically includes a core item evaluating the correlation between the PROM and the anchor. However, many MID studies do not report this correlation. To address this, we developed an alternative construct proximity item to assess credibility when the correlation is lacking.

Summary: This study used continuous electrocardiograms (ECG) to predict the deterioration of septic patients by performing time, frequency, and trend analysis. The study found that HRV features associated with clinical deterioration can be extracted from the ECG. Unlike other risk stratification tools based on multiple vital parameters, this method does not require manual calculation of the score and can be used for continuous data analysis.

Summary: This study evaluated the role of sleep-related beliefs and behaviors in insomnia after acquired brain injury. The findings showed a significant correlation between these factors and insomnia severity. However, it was found that not all sleep-related beliefs and behaviors were inappropriate and maladaptive for the acquired brain injury population, but could reflect adequate observations and efforts in coping with the consequences of the brain damage.
