  1. IQR interquartile range, ICU intensive care unit
  2. aCalculated using Wilcoxon rank sum for continuous variables, and chi-squared test for categorical variables. Values correspond to “Excluded from analysis” and “Included in analysis”
  3. bRichards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) consisting of five measures of sleep quality using 100-millimeter visual-analogue scale. Overall sleep quality score calculated by averaging the five sleep quality items on each RCSQ assessment. Higher scores represent better overall sleep quality
  4. cAs measured using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) for delirium, and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) for sedation. A RASS of -4 or -5 was defined as a comatose state
  5. dIncludes benzodiazepine and/or opioid infusions. During this study, benzodiazepine infusions were co-administered with opioid infusions on 356 of 373 (95 %) patient-days, and these variables were therefore combined into a single variable
