The prevalence of clinically significant depression (the cutoff score of \u226515), anxiety (the cutoff score of \u226510), and insomnia (the cutoff score of \u226515) was 11.56, 19.08, and 19.08%, respectively. There was a degree of overlap between burnout and other measures of adverse mental status, most notably for anxiety (odds ratio, 27.049; 95% CI, 6.125\u2013117.732; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001).
