Sleep duration associated with acute care utilization: Revisiting Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Use.
Article in Sleep health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesAndersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Use explains healthcare utilization through three key domains-health needs, predisposing characteristics, and enabling resources-that influence whether individuals access medical care. This study examined whether self-reported sleep duration, as a health needs factor, is associated with acute care hospital utilization in the United States.
methodsWe analyzed data from 30,122 civilians ages 18+ from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey. Acute care utilization included past-year emergency room visits and overnight hospitalizations. Zero-inflated negative binomial and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess associations of health needs, predisposing, and enabling factors with acute care utilization.
resultsEight in 10 adults had no emergency room visits (81.1%), while 12.3% had one visit, 4.3% had two, 1.1% had three, 1.2% had 4+ visits, and 8.4% experienced overnight hospitalization. Sixty-four percent reported healthy sleep. Very short and long sleep were associated with significantly higher emergency room visit rates, while very short, short, and long sleep were associated with greater odds of overnight hospitalization compared with healthy sleep. Poor or fair health and multiple chronic conditions were also associated with increased acute care use. Predisposing (e.g., ages 18-44, female sex, Black race, and place of birth) and enabling factors (e.g., financial hardship, health insurance) further contributed to greater utilization.
conclusionsSleep duration is a significant and underexamined health needs factor in acute care utilization. Improving sleep health may help reduce the frequency of emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Future studies should explore the directionality of these associations and examine other sleep dimensions in relation to acute care utilization.
