“…We have commonly used bibliometric software such as CiteSpace, VOSViewer, and R–bibliometrix to cluster and analyze detailed information such as annual publication numbers, countries, institutions, journals, authors, references, keywords, hot spots, and topic trends in certain research fields. To the best of our knowledge, bibliometric studies have been conducted on cancer insomnia ( 35 ), insomnia in older adults ( 36 ), cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia ( 37 ), and global trends in insomnia ( 38 ). However, bibliometric studies on adolescent insomnia have not yet been published.…”

BackgroundThe negative effects of insomnia on adolescents’ development, academic performance, and quality of life place a burden on families, schools, and society. As one of the most important research directions for insomnia, adolescent insomnia has significant research value, social value, and practical significance. Unfortunately, there is no bibliometric analysis in this field of study. This study aims to analyze published articles using bibliometrics, summarize the current research progress and hot topics in this field systematically and exhaustively, and predict the future direction and trend of research.MethodsFor this study, the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was searched between 2002 and 2022 for publications related to adolescent insomnia. The R–bibliometrix, VOSViewer, and CiteSpace software were utilized for bibliometric analysis.ResultsThis investigation included 2468 publications from 3102 institutions in 87 countries, led by China and the United States. This field of research has entered a period of rapid development since 2017. The journal with the most publications on adolescent insomnia is Sleep, which is also the most co–cited journal. American Journal of Psychology has the highest impact factor among the top 10 journals. These papers were written by 10605 authors; notably, Liu Xianchen emerged as the author with the highest frequency of publications, while Mary A. Carskadon was the most frequently co–cited author. Mental health and comorbid diseases were the main research directions in this field. “Depression,” “anxiety,” “mental health,” “COVID–19,” “stress,” “quality of life,” “heart rate variability,” and “attention–deficit hyperactivity disorder” were hot spots and trends in this field at the current moment.ConclusionThe research on adolescent insomnia has social value, research value, and research potential; its development is accelerating, and an increasing number of researchers are focusing on it. This study summarized and analyzed the development process, hot spots, and trends of adolescent insomnia research using bibliometric analysis, which identified the current hot topics in this field and predicted the development trend for the future.

Purpose Sleep problems are frequently observed in cancer patients. Multiple questionnaires for assessing sleep quality have been developed. The aim of this study was to present transfer rules that allow the conversion of the patients’ scores from one questionnaire to another. In addition, we anchored this common metric to the general population. Methods A sample of 1,733 cancer patients completed the following questionnaires: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Insomnia Sleep Index, Jenkins Sleep Scale, EORTC QLQ-C30, and the sleep scale of the EORTC QLQ-SURV100. The methods for establishing a common metric were based on Item Response Theory. Results The main result of the study is a figure that allows the conversion from one of the above-mentioned sleep scales into another. Furthermore, the scores of the questionnaires can be transferred to theta scores that indicate the position within the group of cancer patients and also to T scores that indicate the position in relation to the general population. The correlations between the sleep scales ranged between 0.70 and 0.85. Conclusions The conversion rules presented in the study enable researchers and clinicians to directly compare single scores or mean scores across studies using different sleep scales, to assess the degree of sleep problems with regard to the general population, and to relate cutoff scores from one questionnaire to another.
