Shift work and health

Abstract

Night work and rotating shift work disrupt the circadian timing system. This disruption may produce significant deleterious symptoms in some workers. Certain medical conditions may be aggravated by shift-work scheduling, and shift workers are at increased risk of experiencing cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and reproductive dysfunction. Vulnerable individuals may develop clinical depression when working shifts. Primary care practitioners may intervene by providing medical surveillance and educational programs for shift-working patients and their families.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
