Continuous values are presented as means (SDs) and were compared with a Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical data are presented as percentages (n/N) and were compared with a Pearson χ2 test. A total score greater than 5 on the Pittburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire was defined as poor sleep quality and a score of 5 or less was defined as good sleep quality. IMD=Index of Multiple Deprivation. COPD=Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ITU=intensive therapy unit. PHQ9=Patient Health Questionnaire. GAD7=Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale.
