Therefore, this study aims to conduct a systematic review on the effect of MMA surgery on PROMs focusing on HRQoL in patients with OSA.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines with a literature search performed in PubMed and Medline to identify relevant studies from database inception to May 2024 evaluating PROMs focusing on HRQoL in adult OSA patients treated with MMA surgery. The primary variables are the PROMs outcomes. Screening and eligibility assessments were carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis framework, and study quality was evaluated using the ROBINS-I tool.
