Article Synopsis
  • Hospitalized patients often have disrupted sleep due to nighttime interactions with staff (patient-staff interactions or PSIs), which can affect their health outcomes.
  • The study analyzed 3,305 patient nights in a neurology unit, categorizing PSIs into six types and measuring their impact on sleep using metrics like longest uninterrupted sleep opportunity (LUSO) and interruptive episodes.
  • Results showed that PSIs were frequent and significantly reduced sleep time, with certain types (like neurological checks and off-unit testing) causing the largest reductions in LUSO, highlighting the need for better management of nighttime care activities.

Background: Determining discharge disposition after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has been a challenge. Advances in machine learning (ML) have produced computer models that learn by example to generate predictions on future events. We hypothesized a trained ML algorithm's diagnostic accuracy will be better than that of current predictive tools to predict discharge disposition after primary TJA.
