Objective To explore the impact of sleep quality on postoperative rehabilitation and quality of life of orthognathic patients. Methods 100 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery in our hospital from March 2023 to February 2024 were selected as the research subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate their sleep quality. According to the evaluation results, they were divided into a low sleep quality group (PSQI score>7, n=35) and a high sleep quality group (PSQI score ≤ 7), n=65）, Compare the surgical outcomes of two groups. Results The perioperative indicators of both the high sleep quality group and the low sleep quality group were statistically significant (P<0.05), and the high sleep quality group was superior to the low sleep quality group; The difference in QLQ-C30 scores at 3 months after surgery was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the high sleep quality group was better than the low sleep quality group. Conclusion Good sleep quality can alleviate early postoperative pain, reduce intraoperative bleeding, promote early mobilization, and improve postoperative quality of life.
