Exploring the Associations between Self-Reported Sleep Disturbance and Cognitive Impairment among Survivors of COVID-19 Hospitalization.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Cognitive impairment following COVID-19 infection is common and risk factors remain poorly understood. Sleep disturbance increases risk of cognitive impairment in the general population, and sleep disturbance is common after COVID-19. While prior literature has extensively explored the relationship between sleep and cognition, few studies have addressed the temporality of this association and how one may contribute to the other over time. This study assessed whether new sleep disturbance at 1-month is associated with risk of cognitive impairment at 6-months after COVID-19 hospitalization.

Methods

English-speaking adults aged ≥18 years at the University of Washington Medical Center who survived to 1-month post-COVID-19 hospitalization were enrolled. Self-repo
