Association of healthy sleep patterns with incident sepsis: a large population-based prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role that sleep patterns play in sepsis risk remains poorly understood.

Objectives

The objective was to evaluate the association between various sleep behaviours and the incidence of sepsis.

Methods

In this prospective cohort study, we analysed data from the UK Biobank (UKB). A total of 409,570 participants who were free of sepsis at baseline were included. We used a composite sleep score that considered the following five sleep behaviours: sleep chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and daytime sleepiness. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to estimate the associations between healthy sleep scores and incident sepsis.

Results

During a mean follow-up of 13.54 years, 13,357 (3.26%) incident sepsis cases were recorded. A
