Abstract

The purpose of this review is to serve as an introduction to understanding sleep in the fetus, the preterm neonate and the term neonate. Sleep appears to have numerous important roles, particularly in the consolidation of new information. The sleep cycle changes over time, neonates spend the most time in active sleep and have a progressive shortening of active sleep and lengthening of quiet sleep. Additionally, the sleep cycle is disrupted by many things including disease state and environment, and the amplitude integrated EEG can be a useful tool in evaluating sleep, and sleep disturbances, in neonates. Finally, there are protective factors for infant sleep that are still being studied.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SCG measurements are reported on adult populations, but their use in routine clinical practice is rare and absent in neonatal and/or pediatric contexts due at least partly to high chest curvature and fragile skin surface.

    “Although SCG measurements are reported on adult populations50, their use in routine clinical practice is rare and is absent in neonatal and/or pediatric contexts due, at least partly, to the high degrees of curvature of the chest51 and the fragility of the skin surface52,53.”

    From Skin-interfaced biosensors for advanced wireless physiological monitoring in neonatal and pediatric intensive-care units (2020) · cites this paper as [50]

    Section 3, “Bedside Tools to Monitor Sleep” (page unavailable), says that no reliable long-term infant sleep-monitoring method is available that avoids damage to infant skin. This supports a general concern about infant skin, but the paper does not discuss SCG or say that skin fragility explains its absence from neonatal or pediatric clinical practice. (LLM, conf=0.82)

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.
