Abstract
Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate long term effect of soft tissue surgery on blood pressure (BP) in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Search methods: PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane library, and Ovid Medline databases were searched through January 2024. Manual searches were also obtained. This review included studies assessing impact of soft tissue surgery for the treatment of OSA in adults on long-term BP.
Result: A total of five studies (299 patients) met our inclusion criteria. Pooled random effects analysis demonstrated a statistically significant long-term postoperative reduction of BP, with average systolic BP reduction of 14.04 mmHg [95%CI (-21.97, -6.11); P = 0.0005]. Pooled random effects analysis of data from four studies (277 patients) also demonstrated statistically significant long-term postoperative reduction of diastolic BP by 6.88 mmHg compared with preoperative baseline [95%CI (-13.31, -0.45); P = 0.04].
Conclusion: Soft tissue surgery for OSA treatment in adults significantly resulted in long-term blood pressure reduction.
期刊介绍:
The journal Sleep and Breathing aims to reflect the state of the art in the international science and practice of sleep medicine. The journal is based on the recognition that management of sleep disorders requires a multi-disciplinary approach and diverse perspectives. The initial focus of Sleep and Breathing is on timely and original studies that collect, intervene, or otherwise inform all clinicians and scientists in medicine, dentistry and oral surgery, otolaryngology, and epidemiology on the management of the upper airway during sleep.
Furthermore, Sleep and Breathing endeavors to bring readers cutting edge information about all evolving aspects of common sleep disorders or disruptions, such as insomnia and shift work. The journal includes not only patient studies, but also studies that emphasize the principles of physiology and pathophysiology or illustrate potentially novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the journal features articles that describe patient-oriented and cost-benefit health outcomes research. Thus, with peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, Sleep and Breathing provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related scientific information. But it also does more: it is dedicated to making the most important developments in sleep disordered breathing easily accessible to clinicians who are treating sleep apnea by presenting well-chosen, well-written, and highly organized information that is useful for patient care.
