BACKGROUND: Sleep quality affects all aspects of daily functioning, and it is vital for facilitating recovery from illness and injury. Sleep commonly becomes disrupted following moderate to severe @entity1545 , yet little is known about the prevalence of @entity25 over time and how it impacts on recovery following mild injury. METHODS: This was a longitudinal study of 346 adults who experienced a mild @entity1545 (aged >= 16 years) identified within a population-based incidence sample in New Zealand. The prevalence of @entity25 was assessed at baseline (within two weeks), one, six and 12 months, alongside other key outcomes. RESULTS: One year post injury, 41.4% of @entity1 were identified as having clinically significant @entity25 , with 21.0% at a level indicative of @entity22 . Poor @entity25 at baseline was significantly predictive of poorer post-concussion symptoms, mood, community integration, and cognitive ability one year post injury. The prevalence of @entity22 following mild @entity131 ( @entity131 ) was more than three times the rate found in the general population. Of those completing a sleep assessment at six and 12 months, 44.9% of the sample showed improvements in @entity25 , 16.2% remained stable, and 38.9% worsened. CONCLUSIONS: Screening for @entity25 should occur routinely following a mild @entity1545 to identify adults potentially at risk of poor recovery. Interventions to improve sleep are needed to facilitate recovery from injury, and to prevent persistent @entity25 emerging.
