Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study looks at why some people have trouble sleeping on their first night after lung surgery. Researchers will collect information before, during, and after surgery to build a model that predicts who is most likely to have poor sleep. They will also examine how hospital routines like nighttime checks and IVs affect sleep quality.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help hospitals identify patients at risk for poor sleep after lung surgery and adjust nighttime care to improve recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The predictions may not be accurate enough to change care, and results may not apply to other surgeries or hospitals.

Who is studied

Adults aged 18 years and older undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy or segmentectomy within a single-center thoracic surgery perioperative care pathway. Participants are drawn from the routine inpatient population managed under standard enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, with planned postoperative admission to a general thoracic ward, ASA physical status I-III, capacity to understand and complete study questionnaires, and willingness to provide informed consent. The population encompasses the perioperative window from preoperative assessment through PACU recovery to the first postoperative night.
