Identifying and Treating Insomnia in Patients Living With Alzheimer's Disease
Alon Avidan, Anna Burke. The Journal of clinical psychiatry, 2020-04-21
Topic: Drug trials: efficacy and safety
Plain-language summary
The number of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing significantly. The disease affects many aspects of a person's life, and often sleep disturbances are problematic for the patient and for their family. It is critical for clinicians to monitor patients with AD for sleep disorders, including insomnia. Because insomnia can also be an indicator of future development of cognitive difficulties, intervening as early as possible with pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment strategies may enable clinicians to not only manage the patient's sleep disorder but also prevent and/or delay the onset of AD.

How this study scored 39/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multicenter collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 22 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 39 out of 100.
