Core Tip This five-year observational study of 128 chest trauma patients reveals that sleep disturbance affects over 70% of patients at discharge, with one-third experiencing persistent problems at one year. We identified Injury Severity Score ≥ 16, multiple rib fractures, and elevated baseline post-traumatic stress symptoms as independent predictors of chronic sleep disturbance. The strong association between sleep problems and psychological distress suggests that integrated screening and early intervention protocols may significantly improve long-term recovery outcomes in this vulnerable population.
