Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? In multivariable models, infants sleeping <11 hours/day (vs ≥12) did not have worse mother- or teacher-reported BRIEF or SDQ scores in mid-childhood. → Taveras Elsie M. MD 2017

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Multivariable-adjusted regression in Project Viva (n=1046) testing infant sleep (<11 hours/day vs ≥12) against maternal- and teacher-reported BRIEF and SDQ at age 7. The article reports no worse outcomes for the shortest infant sleep category; equivalence was not tested.
"we found that infants who slept <11 hours/day (v. Ōēź12) did not have worse mother- (Table 3) or teacher (Table 4) reported BRIEF or SDQ scores in mid-childhood"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Infants who slept 11 to <12 hours/day had worse teacher-reported but not mother-reported neurobehavioral outcomes at age 7 — related
- Children who slept <10 hours/day at ages 3-4 years had worse maternal-reported executive function and behavioral difficulties at age 7 than children with age-appropriate sleep — related
- Children who slept <9 hours/day at ages 5-7 years had worse maternal-reported executive function and behavioral difficulties at age 7 than children sleeping ≥10 hours/day — related
- In bivariate analyses, children sleeping <9 hours/day at ages 5-7 had higher mother- and teacher-reported BRIEF and SDQ scores than those sleeping ≥10 hours/day — related
- Teacher-reported neurobehavioral outcomes at age 7 were consistent with maternal reports for insufficient sleep at ages 3-4 and 5-7 years — related
- Short sleep duration (<9 hours) at follow-up is associated with impaired academic achievement, while baseline sleep duration did not significantly predict later school performance — related
- Short sleep duration at age 3 was not associated with quality of life at about age 13 — related
