Description
Le Zhao and four co-authors test in 2026 whether poor sleep before hip replacement surgery forecasts worse recovery and frailty in older patients. Sleep quality may sway pain, function, and strength after joint surgery. Its interplay with other health issues was less clear.
Ninety patients split evenly by sleep score and matched on age, sex, and surgical risk class. The poor-sleep group stays in hospital more than a day longer. Pain at three months runs notably higher there too. Poor sleep before surgery more than doubles frailty odds after surgery in adjusted tests. Age over sixty-five and past osteoporosis add risk as well. The authors back sleep screening as part of surgical planning.
