Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Opioid-related adverse events (OAEs), including opioid use disorders, overdose, and death, are serious public health concerns. OAEs are often associated with disrupted sleep, but the long-term relationship between poor sleep and subsequent OAE risk remains unknown. This study investigates whether sleep behavior traits are associated with incident OAEs in a large population cohort.</p>
METHODS: 444 039 participants (mean age ± SD 57 ± 8 years) from the UK Biobank reported their sleep behavior traits (sleep duration, daytime sleepiness, insomnia-like complaints, napping, and chronotype) between 2006 and 2010. The frequency/severity of these traits determined a poor sleep behavior impacts score (0-9). Incident OAEs were obtained from hospitalization records during 12-year median follow-up. Cox proportional hazards models examined the association between sleep and OAEs.</p>
RESULTS: Short and long sleep duration, frequent daytime sleepiness, insomnia symptoms, and napping, but not chronotype, were associated with increased OAE risk in fully adjusted models. Compared to the minimal poor sleep behavior impacts group (scores of 0-1), the moderate (4-5) and significant (6-9) groups had hazard ratios of 1.47 (95% confidence interval [1.27, 1.71]), p < 0.001, and 2.19 ([1.82, 2.64], p < 0.001), respectively. The latter risk magnitude is greater than the risk associated with preexisting psychiatric illness or sedative-hypnotic medication use. In participants with moderate/significant poor sleep impacts (vs. minimal), subgroup analysis revealed that age <65 years was associated with a higher OAE risk than in those ≥65 years.</p>
CONCLUSIONS: Certain sleep behavior traits and overall poor sleep impacts are associated with an increased risk for opioid-related adverse events.</p>
