Preoperative Sleep Quality and Postoperative Delirium

Background: Delirium is a neurocognitive illness that has lately been connected to sleep difficulties. It is a stressful condition. is still not fully understood. A poor sleep burden and its progress were investigated in this study to determine their correlations with the risk of delirium following surgical procedures. Methods: Between August 1st and December 5th, 2023, 124 patients undergoing non-cardiac general anesthesia (mean age 63.68 ± 8.81 years \[SD\]; range 46-82 years) reported on their sleep characteristics. PSQI, 1- sleep duration, 2- sleep disturbance, 3- sleep latency, 4- daytime dysfunction resulting from sleepiness, 5- sleep efficiency, 6- overall sleep quality, and 7- usage of sleep medications were among these sleep characteristics. Seven component scores, ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (extreme difficulty), are obtained while assessing the PSQI. The global score ranges from 0 to 21 and is calculated by adding the component scores. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality. A three-day median follow-up time was used to analyze hospitalization records to gather data on new-onset delirium (n = 26). Approximately 124 people on average, with a mean.
