Abstract

During a mean follow-up of 13.54 years, 13,357 (3.26%) incident cases were recorded among 409,570 participants.

  • Each one-point increase in a composite sleep score is associated with a 5% lower risk of developing sepsis.
  • Participants with a of 5 had a 24% lower risk of sepsis compared to those with scores of 0-1.
  • The association between healthy sleep patterns and reduced sepsis risk is stronger in individuals aged under 60 years.
  • No significant association was found between healthy sleep patterns and sepsis-related death or critical care admission.
