Although patients with cancers are prone to insomnia, especially waiting for surgery during hospitalization, and insomnia promotes acute respiratory infections (ARI) and is not conducive to the postoperative quality of recovery (QoR), evidence that preoperative insomnia delays postoperative recovery is still lacking. In this prospective observational study, we enroll 175 non-elderly subjects with abdominal cancer who will undergo non-emergency cancer resection surgery. Insomnia Severity Index scale (ISI) is used to assess the insomnia severity during hospitalization while awaiting surgery. The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is used to evaluate the overall recovery after surgery. Meanwhile, wrist watch and sleep diary are used to record sleep. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between preoperative insomnia and postoperative QoR, the association between preoperative insomnia and postoperative ARI,and to describe preoperative sleep traits.
