Supplementary file 2_Sleep-related problems among patients with rheumatoid arthritis in th

A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies, including quantitative data from 6 studies with 2,315 participants, on sleep-related problems among adults with rheumatoid arthritis in the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Region. The work was authored by Mohammad Mustafa and published on figshare in May 2026. It provides pooled prevalence estimates and odds ratios for associated risk factors like depression, pain, and fatigue.

Use Cases

• Estimating the pooled prevalence of sleep problems in rheumatoid arthritis patients based on reported meta-analysis results.
• Analyzing the association between depression and sleep disturbances based on the reported odds ratio of 2.65.
• Comparing risk factors like pain, fatigue, gender, and age for sleep-related problems using the provided odds ratios.
• Assessing heterogeneity in sleep problem prevalence across different constructs like insomnia, sleep apnea, and subjective sleep quality.

Strengths

• Provides a quantitative meta-analysis of 6 studies encompassing 2,315 participants.
• Reports specific pooled prevalence (60.9%) and odds ratios for key risk factors like depression (OR=2.65) and pain (OR=2.18).
• Includes subgroup analyses by sleep construct (insomnia, sleep apnea, subjective quality) and assessment method.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 15.1 KB DOCX document, which is a very small text file containing the review manuscript, not a primary data table.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any underlying data are unknown.
• The meta-analysis notes substantial heterogeneity (I² = 88%) and a limited number of included studies, which may affect generalizability.
