Dataset Information

Preconception sleep duration, sleep timing, and shift work in association with fecundability and live birth among women with a history of pregnancy loss.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the associations between preconception sleep characteristics and shift work with fecundability and live birth.

Design

Secondary analysis of the Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction study, a preconception cohort.

Setting

Four US academic medical centers.

Patient(s)

Women aged 18-40 with a history of 1-2 pregnancy losses who were attempting to conceive again.

Intervention(s)

Not applicable.

Main outcome measures(s)

We evaluated baseline, self-reported sleep duration, sleep midpoint, social jetlag, and shift work among 1,228 women who were observed for ≤6 cycles of pregnancy attempts to ascertain fecundability. We ascertained live birth at the end of follow up via chart abstraction. We estimated fecundability odds ratios (FORs) using discrete, Cox proportional hazards models and risk ratios (RRs) for live birth using log-Poisson models.

Result(s)

Sleep duration ≥9 vs. 7 to <8 hours (FOR: 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61; 1.08), later sleep midpoints (3rd tertile vs. 2nd tertile: FOR: 0.85; 95% CI, 0.69, 1.04) and social jetlag (continuous per hour; FOR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.86, 1.00) were not associated with reduced fecundability. In sensitivity analyses, excluding shift workers, sleep duration ≥9 vs. 7 to <8 hours (FOR: 0.62; 95% CI, 0.42; 0.93) was associated with low fecundability. Night shift work was not associated with fecundability (vs. non-night shift work FOR: 1.17, 95% CI, 0.96; 1.42). Preconception sleep was not associated with live birth.

Conclusion(s)

Overall, there does not appear to be a strong association between sleep characteristics, fecundability, and live birth. Although these findings may suggest weak and imprecise associations with some sleep characteristics, our findings should be evaluated in larger cohorts of women with extremes of sleep characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough studies have reported that certain sleep characteristics, such as sleep duration and sleep apnea, are linked to the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), this link remains contentious because of the limited evidence from individual studies. Furthermore, evidence indicated that shift work involving circadian disruption as a probable human carcinogen. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the associations between sleep duration, sleep apnea, and shift work with the risk of colorectal neoplasms, including CRC and colorectal adenoma (CRA).MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The inclusion criteria were determined using PICOS principles. Observational studies reporting associations of sleep duration, sleep apnea, or shift work with risk of CRC or CRA were included. We assessed the risk of bias on the basis of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.ResultsA total of 18 observational studies were included. Of these studies, nine studies reported the effect of sleep duration on risk of colorectal neoplasms, five reported the effect of sleep apnea, and six reported the effect of shift work. The relative risk (RR) for colorectal neoplasms was 1.06 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94, 1.20] in the short sleep duration group compared with the moderate sleep duration group. Long sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasms (RR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.65). The pooled results showed that sleep apnea was associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasms (RR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.56, 1.97). Furthermore, results showed that the association between shift work and the risk of colorectal neoplasms was not significant (RR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.95, 1.17). No publication bias was observed in all the analyses (all P>0.05). The sensitivity analysis showed that no individual study substantially influenced the pooled RRs for colorectal neoplasms and CRC.ConclusionsOur findings suggest the significant positive association of long sleep duration and sleep apnea with risk of colorectal neoplasms and CRC. Given that sleep characteristics may be a potentially modifiable risk factor for colorectal neoplasms, further understanding of its role in carcinogenesis will provide valuable insight for cancer prevention.

Project description:ObjectiveShift work and Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) are known to affect the secretion of several neurotransmitters and hormones associated with premature ejaculation (PE). However, their specific influence on the regulation of male ejaculation remains unclear. This study explores the relationship between shift work, SWSD, and PE.MethodsFrom April to October 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted across five regions of China to explore the work schedules, sleep quality, and sexual function of male workers. Participants' sleep quality was evaluated using a validated SWSD questionnaire, and their erectile function and ejaculatory control were assessed with the International Inventory of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) scores, respectively. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were employed to identify risk factors associated with PE. Confounders were controlled using multiple regression models, and clinical prediction models were developed to predict PE onset and assess the contribution of risk factors.ResultsThe study included 1239 eligible participants, comprising 840 non-shift workers and 399 shift workers (148 with SWSD and 251 without SWSD). Compared to non-shift working males, those involved in shift work (β 1.58, 95% CI 0.75 - 2.42, p < 0.001) and those suffering from SWSD (β 2.86, 95% CI 1.86 - 3.85, p < 0.001) they had significantly higher PEDT scores. Additionally, we identified daily sleep of less than six hours, depression, anxiety, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, frequent alcohol consumption (more than twice a week), and erectile dysfunction as risk factors for PE. The predictive model for PE demonstrated commendable efficacy.ConclusionBoth shift work and SWSD significantly increase the risk of premature ejaculation, with the risk magnifying in tandem with the duration of shift work. This study reveals the potential impact of shift work and SWSD on PE and provides new theoretical foundations for the risk assessment and prevention of this condition.
