Core Tip

Core Tip: Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a condition characterized by mucosal inflammation and fibrosis. Changes in the diameter of the laryngotracheal airway and length of the narrowed segment can alter airflow, leading to progressive respiratory distress. Currently, domestic and international research on LTS has primarily focused on treatment modalities, with limited studies on the psychological and sleep-related aspects of patients with LTS. This study aimed to investigate the sleep quality of patients with LTS and its influencing factors, providing a theoretical basis for implementing effective intervention measures to improve the sleep quality of patients with LTS.
