Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age: Children aged 2 to 12 years. 2. Treatment Type: Patients who had undergone "comfort-oriented dental treatment under general anesthesia". General anesthesia was defined as an anesthetic protocol administered by an anesthesiologist, comprising intraoperative sedation, analgesia, and vital sign monitoring. Specific modalities included, but were not limited to: endotracheal intubation general anesthesia, laryngeal mask airway general anesthesia, and non-intubated general anesthesia (e.g., intravenous general anesthesia/deep sedation). 3. Questionnaire Completeness: A completion rate of =80% for the core modules of the Assessment of Dental Anxiety and Fear in Children Undergoing Comfort-Oriented Dental Treatment questionnaire was required.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Critical Data Missing: Inability to calculate either the total dental fear score or core sleep metrics (including sleep onset latency, actual night sleep duration, and subjective sleep quality). 2. Poor Questionnaire Quality: Questionnaires deemed invalid due to excessively short completion time (e.g., < 3 minutes) or response patterns exhibiting clear regularity or randomness, as independently judged by two researchers. 3. Severe Data Contradiction or Unreliability: Presence of irreconcilable internal contradictions within the responses that critically undermine data reliability. 4. Duplicate Submissions: In cases of completely or highly duplicate submissions from the same family, only the earliest submission was retained for analysis.
