Article Synopsis
- Disturbed sleep is common after COVID-19, with a study estimating chronic insomnia in hospitalized patients at 23% three months and 24% twelve months post-discharge.* -
- Predictors of chronic insomnia included being female and having a low body mass index (BMI), while a digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBTi) protocol showed some improvement in sleep scores for participants.* -
- Overall, chronic insomnia persisted after COVID-19 hospitalization, and though 50% of those who started the dCBTi protocol completed it, they experienced a significant reduction in insomnia symptoms.*
Sleep Duration and Cognitive Function: The Akershus Cardiac Examination 1950 Study.

Introduction: Sleep duration is proposed as a lifestyle-related risk factor for cognitive impairment. We investigated the association between sleep duration and cognitive function in a large population-based cohort aged 62-65 years.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses from the Akershus Cardiac Examination 1950 Study.
Objectives: To investigate changes in chest CT between 3 and 12 months and associations with disease severity in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 during the first wave in 2020.
Materials And Methods: Longitudinal cohort study of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in 2020. Chest CT was performed 3 and 12 months after admission.
Background: COVID-19 has been associated with cardiac troponin T (cTnT) elevations and changes in cardiac structure and function, but the link between cardiac dysfunction and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) in the acute and convalescent phase is unclear.
Objective: To assess whether hs-cTnT concentrations are associated with cardiac dysfunction and structural abnormalities after hospitalization for COVID-19, and to evaluate the performance of hs-cTnT to rule out cardiac pathology.
Methods: Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had hs-cTnT measured during the index hospitalization and after 3-and 12 months, when they also underwent an echocardiographic study.
Background: The prevalence of iron deficiency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) varies in previous studies. We aimed to assess its prevalence according to 3 well-known criteria for iron deficiency, its associations with clinical characteristics of COPD, and mortality.
Methods: In a cohort study consisting of 84 COPD patients, of which 21 had chronic respiratory failure, and 59 were non-COPD controls, ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSat), and mortality across 6.
