Abstract

Objective: To objectively capture sleep habits, quality, and digital biomarkers in orthopedic trauma surgeons. Methods: Ten orthopedic trauma surgeons (3 attendings, 7 residents) were enrolled in a longitudinal observational study lasting 14 days. Subjects wore a continuous glucose monitor and Oura ring (wearable sleep tracker) throughout the study period. Results: Sleep data was captured for 95 (67%) out of the total 140 nights and revealed that operative days were associated with statistically significant changes to sleep wake up time consistency but not bedtime consistency. While changes to heart rate variability (HRV) were not observed for operative vs nonoperative days, worse sleep consistency was associated with elevated fasting glucose. Conclusions: Wearable sleep trackers are a feasible method for tracking surgeon sleep habits and provide important insights into how operating schedules influence sleep consistency, HRV, and fasting glucose.
