Observational StudyEffects of morning versus afternoon surgery on peri-operative disturbance of sleep-wake timing: An observational study.
The circadian timing system regulates diurnal sleep-wake rhythm. Previously, we showed that, in patients undergoing elective surgery, sleep-wake timing is altered and post-operative sleep quality is reduced. However, how the timing of the surgical procedure affects the disturbance and what other factors affect this disturbance remain unknown. ⋯ Timing of surgery may impact post-operative sleep. However, in this prospective cohort study of elective surgical patients, sleep-wake timing and post-operative sleep quality did not differ between those undergoing morning versus afternoon surgery.

Multicenter StudyLong-term recovery in critically ill COVID-19 survivors: A prospective cohort study.
Long-term recovery following critical COVID-19 has not been sufficiently studied. ⋯ Survivors of critical COVID-19 showed improved functional outcome and physical HRQoL from 3 to 12 months post-ICU. A shorter duration of mechanical ventilation is associated with good functional outcome and good HRQoL, while older age is associated with good functional outcome. Younger patients and those with comorbidities or higher frailty may require targeted follow-up and rehabilitation. Study registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04974775, registered April 28, 2020.
