Novel coronavirus disease 2019 is known to have poor impacts on health with health systems facing serious challenges. Limited information is available on health issues for patients who have recovered from the disease. Our study aims to investigate the extent of sleep disorders in patients who have recovered from the coronavirus disease.
A casecontrol study with 256 patients who had recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 was carried out, with 491 patients enrolled as the control. All participants were 18 years or older, and sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Furthermore, sleep latency and hours needed for sleep were calculated. Chi-square and t-test statistical methods were used to analyze the variables.
A total of 215 (84%) recovered patients were associated with poor sleep quality, with 384 patients (78%) in the control group. The PSQI values for recovered and control groups were 8.77±3.7591 and 8.139±3.068, respectively, with a significant -value of 0.014. Average hours needed for sleep were 6.899±3.7869 and 6.44±1.477 for recovered and control patients, respectively, with a significant -value of 0.01. The difference in sleep latency was non-significant (=0.374), with 29.01±39.3702 and 33.520±38.208 minutes for recovered and control patients, respectively.
Sleep disorders were more prevalent among patients who had recovered from COVID-19 than the control group.
众所周知,2019年新型冠状病毒病对健康有不良影响,卫生系统面临严峻挑战。关于从该疾病中康复的患者的健康问题,可用信息有限。我们的研究旨在调查从冠状病毒病中康复的患者睡眠障碍的程度。
对256例从2019年冠状病毒病中康复的患者进行了病例对照研究,将491例患者纳入对照组。所有参与者年龄均在18岁及以上,使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评估睡眠质量。此外,还计算了睡眠潜伏期和所需睡眠时间。采用卡方检验和t检验统计方法分析变量。
共有215例(84%)康复患者存在睡眠质量差的问题,对照组有384例(78%)。康复组和对照组的PSQI值分别为8.77±3.7591和8.139±3.068,p值为0.014,具有显著性。康复患者和对照患者的平均所需睡眠时间分别为6.899±3.7869小时和6.44±1.477小时,p值为0.01,具有显著性。睡眠潜伏期的差异无统计学意义(p=0.374),康复患者和对照患者的睡眠潜伏期分别为29.01±39.3702分钟和33.520±38.208分钟。
与对照组相比,从COVID-19中康复的患者睡眠障碍更为普遍。
