Article Abstract

REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is one of the most important factors predicting Parkinson's disease. Symptoms constitute vivid dreams typically characterized by ominous contents and associated muscular activity. Specific signs include the preservation of muscle tone during REM sleep as detected in polysomnography, and behavior associated with dreaming as demonstrated by video monitoring. Injury risk is increased during the attacks. Melatonin or clonazepam can be used as therapy. The disorder belongs to the entity of synucleinopathies.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorders, and self-harm are substantial contributors to the global disease burden, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: We used Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2021 to estimate global, regional, and national prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for MDD, anxiety disorders, and self-harm from 1990 to 2021. Annual percentage changes were calculated for pre-pandemic (1990-2019) and pandemic (2019-2021) periods.

Therefore, this study aims to explore maternal multivariate sleep trajectory from preconception to 6 months postpartum and related determinants.
