Abstract

Excessive daytime sleepiness is highly prevalent and variable in health students. However, a meta-analysis that synthesises the prevalence of this symptom in dental students has yet to be reported. This review aimed to compute the pooled prevalence of sleepiness in dental students. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published between 2000 and 2023 was developed in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. The keywords were sleepiness, excessive drowsiness, Epworth scale for sleepiness, and dental students in all three languages. Original articles and degree theses that reported the frequency of sleepiness with a cut-off point for the Epworth scale for sleepiness greater than 10 were included. The sample sizes and the number of students positive for sleepiness were observed, and the prevalence, raw and adjusted for sample size, was calculated. Seven articles were included with participant samples between 128 and 325 students, totalling 1,546. Students were positive on the Epworth scale for sleepiness between 43 and 189, with a sum of 671. The prevalences were between 22.7% and 58.4%; the pooled prevalence was 42.7% (95% CI: 40.3-45.2). In conclusion, sleepiness was present in 4 out of 10 dental students. It is necessary to systematise the factors associated with sleepiness and establish a relationship with the academic performance of dental students.

牙科学生日间嗜睡:系统回顾与元分析。
摘要:在健康学生中,白天过度嗜睡是非常普遍和多变的。然而,一项综合该症状在牙科学生中的患病率的荟萃分析尚未被报道。本综述旨在计算牙科学生嗜睡的总体患病率。用西班牙语、英语和葡萄牙语对2000年至2023年间发表的研究进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。关键词为嗜睡、过度嗜睡、Epworth嗜睡量表和三种语言的牙科学生。包括报告嗜睡频率的原创文章和学位论文,其Epworth量表的嗜睡分界点大于10。观察样本量和嗜睡阳性学生的数量,并计算原始和调整样本量后的患病率。7篇文章被纳入,参与者样本在128到325名学生之间,总计1546人。在爱普沃斯量表上,学生的困倦程度在43到189之间,总分为671。患病率在22.7% ~ 58.4%之间;合并患病率为42.7% (95% CI: 40.3-45.2)。总的来说,10个牙科学生中有4个嗜睡。有必要将与嗜睡有关的因素系统化,并建立与牙科学生学习成绩的关系。
