Table 4. Multivariate analysis of determinants associated with sleep disturbances (PSQI>5) in bronchiectasis patients.

Sleep disturbances (PSQI>5)
Determinants OR 95% CI P value
Age 1.04 1.01–1.07 0.009
Increased 24-hour sputum volume (>30 ml) 2.01 1.22–3.33 0.006
Night cough symptom score 1.89 1.13–3.18 0.016
Depression (HADS-D≥8) 10.09 3.46–29.37 <0.001

In multivariate analysis, determinants with a P value ≤0.1 in preceding univariate analyses, including age, BMI, education, employment status, depression score, anxiety score, 24-hour sputum volume, daytime cough score, nighttime cough score, PA colonization, and MRC dyspnea score, were initially included, and were then eliminated using backward selection.
