Article Clinical Neurology

Symptom Cluster Profiles Among Adults with Insomnia and Heart Failure

Samantha Conley et al.

Summary: This study found that higher symptom burden is associated with more severe insomnia in people with stable heart failure. Further research is needed to understand whether treatment of insomnia can improve symptom burden.

Characteristics of symptoms and symptom change across different heart failure subtypes: a sex-stratified analysis

Muzeyyen Seckin et al.

Summary: This study aims to examine the sex-stratified differences in heart failure (HF) subtypes based on left ventricular ejection fraction, as well as the characteristics and correlates of self-reported changes in HF symptoms. The research found significant heterogeneity in symptomatic characteristics and subsequent symptom trajectory according to sex and HF subtype among hospitalized patients with HF.

Sleep and allostatic load: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Dinne S. Christensen et al.

Summary: This study found significant associations between sleep disturbances and higher allostatic load, as well as between long sleep duration and higher allostatic load. However, no associations were found for short sleep duration or sleep duration in general. Future research should focus on identifying mechanisms and directionality in longitudinal studies.

Higher Levels of Stress Are Associated With a Significant Symptom Burden in Oncology Outpatients Receiving Chemotherapy

Katarina Jakovljevic et al.

Summary: The study evaluated differences in symptom severity among cancer patients with distinct stress profiles, with three subgroups identified: stressed, normative, and resilient. Patients in the stressed group had the highest symptom severity scores for fatigue, lack of energy, sleep disturbance, and cognitive function, indicating a significant impact of stress on symptom burden.

US population norms for the EQ-5D-5L and comparison of norms from face-to-face and online samples

Ruixuan Jiang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate US norms for EQ-5D-5L using face-to-face and online samples, with the latter showing consistently lower utility and EQ VAS values compared to the former. Availability of these norms aids in interpreting general population and patient health.
