Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the interactions between anxiety, depression and sleep attributes in atrial fibrillation inpatients of a single tertiary center in China to improve identification of patients who require additional psychological care. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 332 atrial fibrillation inpatients and evaluated their psychological and sleep status with the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Potential risk factors for anxiety and depression were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Odds ratios (OR) for risk of poor sleep quality were adjusted by age and gender in patients with different psychological statuses
