Association of sleep quality on the night of operative day with postoperative delirium in elderly patients: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disturbances in the peri-operative period have been associated with adverse outcomes, including postoperative delirium (POD). However, research on sleep quality during the immediate postoperative period is limited.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep quality on the night of the operative day assessed using the Sleep Quality Numeric Rating Scale (SQ-NRS), and the incidence of POD in a large cohort of surgical patients.

Design

A prospective cohort study.

Setting

A tertiary hospital in China.

Patients

This study enrolled patients aged 65 years or older undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. The participants were categorised into the sleep disturbance and no sleep disturbance groups accord
