A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Examining the Impact of Sleep Disturbance on Postoperative Delirium

Objectives: Basic science and clinical studies suggest that sleep disturbance may be a modifiable risk factor for postoperative delirium. We aimed to assess the association between preoperative sleep disturbance and postoperative delirium. Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane from inception until May 31, 2017. Study Selection: We performed a systematic search of the literature for all studies that reported on sleep disruption and postoperative delirium excluding cross-sectional studies, case reports, and studies not reported in English language. Data Extraction: Two authors independently performed study selection and data extraction. We calculated pooled effects estimates with a random-effects model constructed in Stata and evaluated the risk of bias by formal testing (Stata Corp V.14, College Station, TX), Data Synthesis: We included 12 studies, from 1,238 citations that met our inclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratio for the association between sleep disturbance and postoperative delirium was 5.24 (95% CI, 3.61–7.60; p
