Disturbed sleep after lung transplantation is associated with worse patient-reported outcomes and chronic lung allograft dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many lung transplant recipients fail to derive the expected improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQL) and survival. Sleep may represent an important, albeit rarely examined, factor associated with lung transplant outcomes.

Methods

Within a larger cohort study, 141 lung transplant recipients completed the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Problems Index (SPI) Revised scale along with a broader survey of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures and frailty assessment. From the SPI, we also derived an insomnia-specific subscale. Potential perioperative risk factors for disturbed sleep were derived from medical records. We investigated associations between perioperative predictors on SPI and insomnia and associations between SPI and insomnia on PROs and frailty
