Patterns and Predictors of Sleep Quality Within the First Year After Lung Transplantation

Conclusion: Nearly one-third of LTRs reported persistent poor sleep through year 1. More females reported poor sleep quality, and sleep quality was inversely related to mental HRQOL by 12 months. Knowledge of these relationships may help identify LTRs at the greatest risk for poor sleep and guide strategies to promote sleep and optimize HRQOL.
