"Multivariate analysis of the impact of sleep and working hours on medical errors: a MICE approach".

ABSTRACT:

Background

The main objective of this study was to describe the relationship between working conditions, sleep and psycho-affective variables and medical errors.

Methods

This was an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study in which 661 medical residents answered questionnaires about working conditions, sleep and psycho-affective variables. Actigraphic sleep parameters and peripheral temperature circadian rhythm were measured in a subgroup of 38 subjects. Bivariate and multivariate predictors of medical errors were assessed.

Results

Medical residents reported working 66.2 ± 21.9 weekly hours. The longest continuous shift was of 28.4 ± 10.9 h. They reported sleeping 6.1 ± 1.6 h per day, with a sleep debt of 94 ± 129 min in workdays. A high percentage of them
