Description
Han and co-authors study whether poor sleep before surgery predicts delirium after joint replacement in older patients, in this 2026 paper. Delirium, a sudden confused state, is a common problem after such surgery. Sleep trouble is also common around surgery, but its link to delirium was unclear.
Two hundred patients having knee or hip replacement filled out a sleep quality survey on admission. Staff then checked for delirium twice a day during the first week after surgery. The team used careful models that account for age, sex, and health status. Their work tests whether a simple sleep survey could flag patients who need extra watching after surgery.
