Abstract

Background and objectives: There is a lack of research regarding the use of sleep aids after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). We describe the prevalence of sleep aid administration in the HCT unit and identify associations with patient or clinical characteristics.

Patients and methods: In this retrospective analysis of sequential inpatient HCTs from July 1 to December 31, 2016 we describe whether and when patients were prescribed sleep aid medications. Chi-square tests determined significant differences between patient characteristics, sleep aid prescription, and time of prescription.

Results: Of the 225 patients identified, 193 (86%) were prescribed sleep aids. Significantly more women received prescriptions for sleep aids (90.4%) than men (81%; P = .047). One hundred patients (44%) received prescriptions exclusively while in the hospital.

Conclusion: Findings show a high prevalence of sleep medication use in patients undergoing inpatient HCT, primarily during hospitalization. Future efforts toward standardized recommendations to optimize peri-transplant sleep would help clinicians and patients.

在住院病房接受造血细胞移植的患者中辅助睡眠药物的使用情况。

背景和目的：关于造血干细胞移植（HCT）后使用助眠剂的研究缺乏。我们描述了辅助睡眠管理在HCT单位的流行，并确定与患者或临床特征的关联。患者和方法：在2016年7月1日至12月31日的连续住院hct回顾性分析中，我们描述了患者是否以及何时服用助眠药物。卡方检验确定患者特征、助眠处方和处方时间之间存在显著差异。结果：225例患者中，有193例（86%）服用了助眠药。接受助眠药处方的女性（90.4%）明显多于男性(81%；P = .047)。100名患者（44%）在住院期间只接受处方。结论：研究结果显示，在住院HCT患者中，睡眠药物的使用率很高，主要是在住院期间。未来对优化移植期睡眠的标准化建议的努力将有助于临床医生和患者。

期刊介绍： Hematology Oncology and Stem Cell Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that provides a vehicle for publications of high-quality clinical as well as basic science research reports in hematology and oncology. The contents of the journal also emphasize the growing importance of hematopoietic stem cell therapy for treatment of various benign and malignant hematologic disorders and certain solid tumors.The journal prioritizes publication of original research articles but also would give consideration for brief reports, review articles, special communications, and unique case reports. It also offers a special section for clinically relevant images that provide an important educational value.
