Overnight urinary melatonin levels in women with and without HIV: An observational cohort study
Abstract
Despite significant improvements in longevity and quality of life associated with antiretroviral therapy, individuals with HIV still suffer from a higher burden of sleep and circadian disruption and inflammatory‐based diseases than individuals without HIV. While melatonin is a hormone that has a role in sleep and circadian regulation and has anti‐inflammatory properties, the overnight concentration of the urinary melatonin metabolite has not yet been reported in people with HIV.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence.
