The prevalence and impact of pre-existing sleep disorder diagnoses and objective sleep parameters in patients hospitalized for COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep disorders overlap with comorbidities associated with poor outcomes related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. However, the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea among patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and relationship to outcomes is poorly characterized, and the relevance of other sleep disorders remains unknown. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of pre-existing sleep disorders and association with outcomes related to severe COVID-19 illness.

Methods

Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection admitted to the University of Michigan Hospital System were included. Electronic medical records were queried for sleep disorders diagnostic codes.
