Introduction.
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has been widely studied and the effects of injury can be long term or even lifelong.
This research aims to characterize the sleep problems of patients following acute mTBI.
Methods.
A total of 171 patients with mTBI within one month and 145 non-mTBI controls were recruited in this study.
The questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), was used to evaluate seven aspects of sleep problems.
A propensity score method was used to generate a quasirandomized design to account for the background information, including gender, age, Beck’s Anxiety Index, Beck’s Depression Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
The effect was evaluated via cumulative logit regression including propensity scores as a covariate.
Results.
Before adjustment, about 60% mTBI patients and over three quarters of control subjects had mild sleep disturbance while one third mTBI patients had moderate sleep disturbance.
After adjusting by the propensity scores, the scores of sleep quality and duration were significant between mTBI and control groups.
Conclusion.
Our study supports that sleep problem is common in mTBI group.
After adjusting the confounders by propensity score, sleep duration and subjective sleep quality are the most frequently reported problems in mTBI patients within one month after the injury.
