Journal ArticleDOI
Economic evaluation of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) for improving health outcomes in adult populations: A systematic review.
Andrea N. Natsky,Andrew Vakulin,Ching Li Chai-Coetzer,Leon Lack,Ronald McEvoy,Nicole Lovato,Alexander Sweetman,Christopher J. Gordon,Robert J. Adams,Billingsley Kaambwa +9 more
TL;DR: Using the dominance ranking framework, CBT-I was cost-effective compared to pharmacotherapy or no treatment and future studies are encouraged to employ longer time-horizons and larger sample sizes to enable better determination of sustained cost and outcomes changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia on sedative-hypnotic use: A narrative review.
Alexander Sweetman,Stacey Putland,Leon Lack,R. Doug McEvoy,Robert J. Adams,Ronald R. Grunstein,Nigel Stocks,Billingsley Kaambwa,Emer Van Ryswyk,Christopher J. Gordon,Andrew Vakulin,Nicole Lovato +11 more
TL;DR: The theoretical mechanistic effects of CBTi in facilitating reduced sedative-hypnotic use are discussed, clear recommendations for future research are provided, and pragmatic clinical suggestions to increase access to CBTi are offered to reduce dependence on sedative -hypnotics as the 'default' treatment for insomnia are offered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstructive sleep apnea is not an independent determinant of testosterone in men.
Brigette Marie Clarke,Brigette Marie Clarke,Andrew D. Vincent,Sean A. Martin,Robert J. Adams,Robert J. Adams,Sarah Appleton,Sarah Appleton,Andrew Vakulin,Andrew Vakulin,David Jesudason,David Jesudason,Gary A. Wittert,Gary A. Wittert +13 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity, rather than OSA per se, determine testosterone concentration, which accords with the graded effect of weight loss, but limited effect of continuous positive airway pressure to increase testosterone and highlights the importance of managing obesity in men with low testosterone concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception versus Reality: The Relationship between Subjective and Objective Measures of Sleep When On-call under Simulated Laboratory Conditions.
Madeline Sprajcer,Grace E. Vincent,Sarah M. Jay,Andrew Vakulin,Andrew Vakulin,Leon Lack,Sally A. Ferguson +6 more
TL;DR: Some objective measures of sleep were associated with subjective estimates of sleep duration and sleep quality, however, individuals may overestimate sleep onset latency and underestimate sleep duration during on-call periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of OSA and Nocturnal Hypoxemia with Strength and Body Composition in Community Dwelling Middle Aged and Older Men.
David Stevens,Sarah Appleton,Sarah Appleton,Andrew D. Vincent,Yohannes Adama Melaku,Sean A. Martin,Tiffany K. Gill,Christopher Hill,Christopher Hill,Andrew Vakulin,Andrew Vakulin,Robert J. Adams,Robert J. Adams,Gary A. Wittert +13 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest impairments in HGS may be related to fat infiltration of muscle, hypoxemia-induced reductions in peripheral neural innervation, or even endothelial dysfunction, which is a common outcome ofhypoxemia.
