Valerian was the second most applied drug (n = 814, 26.4%) after classic benzodiazepines (n = 1 138, 36.9%). The majority of patients got valerian as monotherapy. Age, length of stay, and comorbidities were associated with demand for sleep medication in general (p &amp;lt; .001). Valerian monotherapy was more common in women (OR 1.53, 95% CI: 1.33\u20131.77, p &amp;lt; .001), elderly patients (OR 1.50, 95% CI: 1.29\u20131.75, p &amp;lt; .001), and patients with prolonged hospital stay (OR 2.23, 95% CI: 1.91\u20132.61, p &amp;lt; .001).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Valerian plays an important role in the treatment of postoperative sleep disturbances clinically, and it appears to be a promising therapeutic approach especially in women, older and sicker patients, and those with prolonged hospital stay.
