| Abstract |
Sleep disturbances are recognized as a problem for many cancer patients, but little is known about the prevalence of sleep disorders among women hospitalized with breast cancer, or their relationship to in-hospital outcomes. The present study represents a first step toward determining the clinical significance of sleep disorders for hospitalized breast cancer patients with regard to complications, length of hospital stay, and mortality. The relationships between sleep disorders and in-hospital outcomes among 84,424 hospitalized breast cancer patients were examined. This study analyzed the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2007 to 2011) for all women ages 40 years and older with a primary discharge diagnosis of breast cancer and a secondary discharge diagnosis of sleep disorder. Odds ratios, estimates, and 95% confidence intervals were computed using multivariable regression adjusting for age, comorbidities, race, cancer stage, income, insurance type, residential region, year of discharge, and surgical treatment type. Among women hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of breast cancer, 2% (n = 1807) also received a diagnosis of a sleep disorder during hospitalization, the majority of which were sleep-related breathing disorders (n = 1274). Although there was no significant association between having a diagnosis of a sleep disorder and in-hospital mortality, patients with a sleep disorder were more likely to also experience complications (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.29-1.34) and have longer hospital stays (mean = 0.44 days longer, 95% CI 0.25-0.63). Hospitalized breast cancer patients with a sleep disorder were more likely to experience clinical complications and stay longer in the hospital. It remains an open and important question for future research whether interventions to improve sleep during hospitalization would help to improve clinical outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 June 2021.
All research outputs
#2,804,433
of 23,012,811 outputs
Outputs from Supportive Care in Cancer
#550
of 4,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,958
of 440,645 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Supportive Care in Cancer
#22
of 88 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,012,811 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,641 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,645 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 88 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
