“…The Newcastle–Ottawa scale (NOS) was utilized to assess study quality. The NOS is appliable for evaluating case–control studies and cohort studies, through three blocks with a total of eight items, including selection, comparability, exposure evaluation or results evaluation 25 , 26 . The NOS uses the semiquantitative principle of the star system to evaluate the quality of the publications.…”

Aims/Introduction Sleep problems are important public health concern worldwide. We carried out a meta‐analysis to quantitatively evaluate whether sleep duration was associated with pregnancy outcomes, and the associations were modified by important characteristics of studies. Materials and Methods Based on PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, we searched for published literature related to maternal sleep duration and adverse pregnancy outcomes before 30 June 2021. We carried out risk of bias assessment, subgroup analyses and sensitivity analysis. The relative risks or odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate the pooled effects. Results A total of 5,246 references were identified through a database search, and 41 studies were included in the study. Pregnant women with short sleep duration had 1.81‐fold (95% CI 1.35–2.44, P < 0.001) the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus. The association between short sleep duration and the risk of gestational hypertension, cesarean section, low birthweight, preterm birth and small for gestational age were not significant ( P > 0.05). Furthermore, long sleep duration was significantly correlated with gestational diabetes mellitus (odds ratio1.24. 95% CI 1.12–1.36, P < 0.001) and CS (odds ratio 1.13. 95% CI 1.04–1.22, P = 0.004), whereas long sleep duration was not linked with gestational hypertension, low birthweight, preterm birth and small for gestational age ( P > 0.05). Conclusions Short/long sleep duration appeared to be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, specifically with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. Sleep should be systematically screened in the obstetric population.

“…In this paper, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) is used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included literature. The score of NOS scale is 0-9, including 3 parts and 8 points: selection (4 points), comparability (2 points), and outcome (2 points) (18). You can get up to one star in the selection and exposure of a study, and up to two stars in the comparability.…”

“…Besides, because AD begins at two years of age we included studies on all age groups (Ivana et al, 2019), the keywords used were atopic dermatitis, atopic eczema dermatitis syndrome, autoimmune disease, skin autoimmunity, gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases to include most of the systematic autoimmune disorders. Ottawa Newcastle scale was used for the quality and risk of bias assessment (Norris et al, 2020). Table 1.…”

Atopic dermatitis is a common disease that affects all age groups. The disease is on the rise worldwide. There is an increasing concern regarding its association with autoimmune diseases. Literature regarding this important issue lacks. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association of AD with autoimmune disorders. An electronic literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, in addition to the first 100 articles in Google Scholar during the period from 2010 up to January 2021. Five hundred forty-three references and abstracts were identified, of them, 8 full texts were screened. While only four studies fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The keywords used were atopic dermatitis, atopic eczema dermatitis syndrome, autoimmune disease, skin autoimmunity, gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases to include most of the systematic autoimmune disorders. The current meta-analysis included four studies with 1735789 patients and 14927 events. The studies were published in Asia and Europe. All were retrospective studies with study periods ranging from five years to 48 years. Autoimmune diseases were higher among patients with AD, a significant statistical difference was observed (odds ratio, 1.61, 95 % CI, 0.03). The random effect was applied due to the substantial heterogeneity observed (I 2 =98%, P-value<0.001). Autoimmune disease was commoner among patients with AD compared to their counterparts without the disease.
