Abstract:

Objective To systematically evaluate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and serum lipid levels, and to explore the clinical significance of changes in serum lipid levels of OSAHS patients. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database were searched. The literatures and references enrolled were manually searched to find the published case-control studies on the relationship between OSAHS and serum lipid levels. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to December 2018. Meta-analysis was conducted with revman5.3 software after screening, extracting data and evaluating the risk of bias by two researchers independently. Results A total of 9 studies including 1473 patients, were enrolled in the screening. The results of meta-analysis showed that triglycerides (MD=0.60, 95%CI[0.54, 0.67], P<0.01) and low-density lipoprotein levels (MD=0.25, 95%CI[0.02, 0.49], P<0.01) in OSAHS patients were higher than those in control group, while the level of high-density lipoprotein (MD=-0.17, 95%CI[-0.25, -0.08], P<0.01) was lower than that in the control group. Conclusion The results of meta-analysis indicate that patients with OSAHS often have dyslipidemia. However, due to the limited number of studies and the quality of them, the above conclusions and related mechanisms still require experimental research with higher quality and larger samples to further verify.
