Article Abstract
Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CwCP) often struggle with sleep issues, which has a serious negative influence on their general health and quality of life. There are insufficient data on the prevalence of various sleep disorders, even though recognising and treating them is vital.
Objectives: Determining the prevalence of sleep disorders in CwCP is the primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted on MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science for all relevant articles using pre-specified eligibility criteria. Pooled proportions of CwCP having sleep problems were calculated in a random effects model using R version 4.3.2.
Results: The updated systematic review and meta-analysis included 42 studies. The Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) showed abnormal scores in 26 % (95 % CI: 17 %-37 %) of children with CP. Subscale abnormalities included disorders of initiation and maintenance of sleep (28 %), sleep breathing disorders (17 %), excessive somnolence (12 %), sleep hyperhidrosis (10 %), and sleep-wake transition disorders (19 %). The Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) indicated abnormal scores in 39 % (95 % CI: 6 %-80 %) of children. Sensitivity analyses confirmed these findings, though some publication bias was noted in the PSQ outcome.
Conclusion: About a quarter of CwCP have experienced sleep problems, which may deteriorate their quality of life. In order to improve the quality of life for CwCP, regular sleep examinations and focused therapies are necessary.

Background: With the development of technology, easier access to the internet and its excessive use have led to problematic internet use (PIU). The prevalence of PIU and its association with lifestyle behaviors in adolescents have become subjects of increasing academic interest. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PIU among Turkish high school students and to investigate its association with sleep, physical activity and dietary habits.

Importance: Sleep disturbances are common during and after the menopause transition, with potential effects on morbidity and quality of life; however, they may be underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Objective: We carried out a systematic literature review to investigate the prevalence and impact of sleep disturbances associated with menopause on women's health-related quality of life across the stages of menopause.
Evidence Review: Searches were conducted in PubMed and Excerpta Medica Database to identify articles published between 2013 and 2023 containing evidence for the impact of sleep quality on health-related quality of life and the epidemiology of sleep disturbances in women in menopause.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.
