To investigate the connections between the duration of dysphagia, dysphonia, and insomnia using the 2022 National Health Interview Survey data, focusing on how these durations correlate with insomnia severity.
Key Findings:
Dysphagia and dysphonia durations significantly influenced insomnia outcomes (p < 0.05), highlighting their clinical relevance.
Both dysphagia and dysphonia durations were identified as independent risk factors for insomnia (OR > 1, p < 0.05), suggesting a need for targeted interventions.
The association remained stable after adjusting for additional covariates, reinforcing the robustness of the findings.
Interpretation:
Dysphagia and dysphonia durations are significant risk factors for insomnia, suggesting the need for their consideration in insomnia interventions, particularly in clinical settings.
Limitations:
The study relies on self-reported data, which may introduce bias and affect the accuracy of the findings.
The cross-sectional nature of the survey limits causal inferences, making it difficult to establish direct relationships.
Conclusion:
Dysphagia and dysphonia durations should be integrated into insomnia intervention strategies due to their significant impact on sleep quality, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessments in clinical practice.
