Abstract
Aim
To systematically review literature investigating sleep quality in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods
Electronic databases were searched (BASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, DIMDI, PsychArticles, PsychInfo, Psychjournals, Psychline, PSYNDEX, Pubmed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library) by two researchers. Eligible studies were all that studied sleep disorders in the context of IBD in children and adolescents (6–17 years of age).
Results
Out of 40 references identified, five studies (all cross-sectional, three of them controlled) were eligible and included in this study. The publications showed that children and adolescents with IBD have significant sleep problems, adding to their impaired quality of life.
Conclusion
The published data provide evidence suggesting an impact of IBD and its severity on sleep in children and adolescents. However, with regard to the low methodological quality, the incongruity of the studies concerning outcome measure, and their focus of exploration, further studies are warranted to highlight the interrelationship.
