Perioperative insomnia trajectories and functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Longitudinal total knee arthroplasty (TKA) studies indicate that a substantial percentage of patients continue to experience clinically significant pain and functional impairment after surgery. Insomnia has been associated with poorer surgical outcomes; however, previous work has largely focused on long-term postsurgical insomnia. This study builds on previous work by examining sleep and pain outcomes about perioperative insomnia trajectories. Insomnia symptoms (using the Insomnia Severity Index) during the acute perioperative period (2 weeks pre-TKA to 6 weeks post-TKA) were used to classify participants into perioperative insomnia trajectories: (1) No Insomnia (ISI < 8), (2) New Insomnia (baseline < 8; postoperative ≥ 8 or ≥6-point increase), (3) Improved Insomnia (basel
