Show morePremature birth (before 37 weeks of gestation) has been linked to a variety of adverse neurological outcomes. Sleep problems are associated with decreased neurocognitive functioning, which is especially common in children born preterm. The exact relationship between prematurity and sleep at school age is unknown. A systematic review is performed with the aim to assess the relationship between prematurity and sleep at school age (5th to 18th year of life), in comparison to sleep of their peers born full-term. Of 347 possibly eligible studies, nine were included. The overall conclusion is that prematurity is associated with earlier bedtimes and a lower sleep quality, in particular more nocturnal awakenings and more non-rapid eye movement stage 2 sleep. Interpretations and limitations of the review are discussed. Moreover, suggestions for future research are brought forward, including the need for a systematic approach with consistent outcome measures in this field of research. A better understanding of the mechanisms that influence sleep in the vulnerable group of children born preterm could help optimize these children's behavioral and intellectual development.

Show morePurpose; Returning to community living is an indicator for successful rehabilitation in older adults admittedto geriatric rehabilitation. Predicting successful rehabilitation could contribute to the deployment of earlydischarge planning, and leads to a more custom-made rehabilitation trajectory. This review aims to presentan overview of factors associated with successful rehabilitation following inpatient geriatric rehabilitation.Method; A systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL and Embase. Extracted factorswere analysed via Bakker’s five levels of evidence.Results; Nine studies with methodological quality of good to moderate were included. For 13 of the 18 extractedfactors, limited (n=3),moderate (n=5) and conflicting (n=5) evidence found a significant association.Conclusions; Caregiver, comorbidities, motor-function, nutritional status, time from onset are significantlyrelated to successful rehabilitation. These factors could support healthcare professionals to indicate successfulrehabilitation at admission and contributes to deployment of early discharge planning and developmentof more custom-made rehabilitation trajectories.
