Practice questions
- Which description best matches the population and design of the study examining maternal late-pregnancy sleep quality and early-childhood growth?
- In the cohort study, how was poor maternal sleep quality defined for the reported comparison?
- Which pattern of child weight was associated with poorer maternal sleep quality in late pregnancy in this cohort?
- Compared with children whose mothers were at the 25th percentile of the Jenkins Sleep Scale, what estimated weight difference was reported at age 1 year for children whose mothers were at the 90th percentile?
- Which statement accurately describes reported variation in the association between late-pregnancy sleep quality and child weight trajectories?
- Which analytic approach did the investigators use to estimate child weight trajectories as a function of age?
- A clinician reads that poorer late-pregnancy sleep quality was associated with a different weight trajectory in the cohort. Which conclusion is best supported by the study design and reported findings?
