IQR = interquartile range, ISOLMS = isolated leg movements during sleep, LMS = leg movements during sleep, NREM = nonrapid eye movement, PLMS = periodic leg movements during sleep, REM = rapid eye movement, SILMS = short-interval leg movements during sleep, SSRIs = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
