Subclaims¶

q3 i? Transitory DIMS showed no increased risk of poor academic performance at T2 (fully adjusted OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.25–1.02), with a non-significant trend toward lower risk. → Stormark KM 2019

Stormark KM, Fosse HE, Pallesen S, Hysing M (2019) The association between sleep problems and academic performance in primary school-aged children: Findings from a Norwegian longitudinal population-based study. PLoS ONE 14(11): e0224139. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0224139

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Logistic regression contrasting the Transitory DIMS group (DIMS at T1 only) with the No DIMS group in the longitudinal cohort. The fully adjusted "OR 0.50; 95% CI 0.25–1.02" did not reach significance.

"The models additionally adjusting for mental health problems yielded an almost significantly lower risk of poor academic performance in the transitory DIMS compared to the no-DIMS group (Fully adjusted model: OR 0.50; 95% CI 0.25–1.02; see Table 2)."

Related Claims¶

• Sleep education at school improves academic performance in children — related
• The association between sleep problems and poor school performance is partly mediated by children's internalizing and externalizing mental health problems, with a direct effect remaining only for persistent DIMS — related
• Concurrent sleep problems at age 11–13 do not increase the risk of poor academic performance after controlling for mental health problems — related
• Persistent sleep problems (DIMS at both ages 7–9 and 11–13) increase the risk of poor academic performance even after adjusting for mental health, gender, pubertal status and SES — related
