Sleep and alertness in a duty-hour flexibility trial in internal medicine.
N Engl J Med. 2019 Mar 7;380(10):915-23.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Note: The aim of the study was: “to establish whether sleep and alertness among interns in flexible programs were noninferior to those among interns in standard programs according to prespecified noninferiority margins. In addition to these analyses that were based on averages across all 14 days of the measurement period in each intern, a secondary goal was to investigate how sleep and alertness were affected by the different shift types in flexible and standard programs, with a focus on extended overnight shifts.”
