Abstract

BackgroundAlthough poor sleep is common in numerous gastrointestinal diseases, data are scarce on the risk of poor sleep in celiac disease. The objective of this study was to estimate the risk of repeated use of hypnotics among individuals with celiac disease as a proxy measure for poor sleep.MethodsThis is a nationwide case¿control study including 2933 individuals with celiac disease and 14,571 matched controls from the general Swedish population. Poor sleep was defined as ¿2 prescriptions of hypnotics using prospective data from the National Prescribed Drug Register (data capture: July 2005-January 2008). We estimated odds ratios and hazard ratios for poor sleep before and after celiac disease diagnosis respectively.ResultsIn this study, poor sleep was seen in 129/2933 individuals (4.4%) with celiac disease, as compared with 487/14,571 controls (3.3%) (odds ratio¿=¿1.33; 95%CI¿=¿1.08-1.62). Data restricted to sleep complaints starting ¿1 year before celiac disease diagnosis revealed largely unchanged risk estimates (odds ratio¿=¿1.23; 95%CI¿=¿0.88-1.71) as compared with the overall risk (odds ratio 1.33). The risk of poor sleep in celiac disease was essentially not influenced by adjustment for concomitant psychiatric comorbidity (n¿=¿1744, adjusted odds ratio =1.26; 95%CI¿=¿1.02-1.54) or restless legs syndrome (n¿=¿108, adjusted odds ratio¿=¿1.33; 95%CI¿=¿1.08-1.63). Poor sleep was also more common after celiac disease diagnosis as compared with matched controls (hazard ratio¿=¿1.36; 95%CI¿=¿1.30-1.41).ConclusionsIn conclusion, individuals with celiac disease suffer an increased risk of poor sleep, both before and after diagnosis. Although we cannot rule out that surveillance bias has contributed to our findings, our results are consistent with previous data suggesting that sleep complaints may be a manifestation of celiac disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2015.
All research outputs
#16,776,459
of 25,654,806 outputs
Outputs from BMC Gastroenterology
#923
of 2,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,634
of 362,144 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Gastroenterology
#9
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,654,806 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,024 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 362,144 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
