The Covid-19 outbreak put enormous stress on the health system worldwide, and objective data to handle the emergency are still needed. We aimed to objectively assess the consequence of severe symptoms of Covid-19 infection on sleep quality through wrist actigraphy monitoring of four patients during the sub-acute recovery stage of the disease. The sleep of those patients who had experienced the most severe respiratory symptoms and who had needed prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay showed lower Sleep Efficiency and Immobility Time and higher Fragmentation Index compared to those patients who had experienced only mild respiratory symptoms and not requiring ICU stay. Wrist actigraphy assessment provided important clinical information about the sleep and activity levels of Covid-19 patients during the post-acute rehabilitation management.
新冠疫情给全球卫生系统带来了巨大压力，仍需要客观数据来应对这一紧急情况。我们旨在通过对四名患者在疾病亚急性期恢复阶段进行腕部运动描记术监测，客观评估新冠病毒感染严重症状对睡眠质量的影响。与仅经历轻度呼吸症状且无需入住重症监护病房（ICU）的患者相比，那些经历过最严重呼吸症状且需要长时间 ICU 治疗的患者的睡眠效率和非动时间较低，而碎片化指数较高。腕部运动描记术评估为新冠患者在急性后康复管理期间的睡眠和活动水平提供了重要的临床信息。
