Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Sleep problems (SP) are common in cancer patients but have not been previously assessed in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Methods: We collected questionnaire data on sleep apnea risk, insomnia, and general sleep patterns. We used an adjusted multivariate Poisson regression to calculate prevalence ratios (PRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations between these SP and metastatic versus localized cancer stage (M1 vs. M0), and adjusted logistic regression models to calculate ORs for associations between SP with the number of ICI infusions completed (6 + vs. < 6). Results: Among 32 patients who received ICI treatment, the prevalence of low, intermediate, and high-risk OSA risk was 36%, 42%, and 21%, respectively. Overall, 58% of participants reported clinically significant insomnia. We did not find a significant association between intermediate or high risk OSA (vs. low risk) and metastatic cancer status (PR = 1.01 (95% CI: 0.28, 3.67)). Patients in the cohort who reported taking > 15 min to fall asleep were 3.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with metastatic cancer compared to those reporting shorter sleep latency (95% CI (1.74, 7.35)). We did not find a significant association between SP and number of ICI infusions completed. Conclusion: Our data associating sleep apnea risk, insomnia, and sleep patterns with more advanced cancer encourages further exploration in larger-scale observational studies and suggests interventional clinical trials focused on sleep quality improvement that could result in better outcomes for these patients.
