Abstract

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder in Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the relationship between OSA and PD is still inconsistent. Our study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between PD and OSA.

Methods

Studies on OSA and PD were searched using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Review Manager 5.3 software was used to calculate the pooled estimate effect. The inverse variance model was used to pool the mean difference (MD) or hazard ratios (HRs); the Mantel-Haenszel method was used to pool the odds ratio (OR). Heterogeneity among the studies was assessed using I2 statistic and Q test.

Results

A total of 12 studies with 93,332 cases were deemed eligible and included in our meta-analysis. Overall, the occurrence of PD was more frequent in patients with OSA (HR 1.59, 95% CI, 1.36–1.85). The subgroup analysis demonstrated the risk similarly by sex. Male and female had HR of incident PD with OSA of 1.56 (95% CI, 1.30–1.87) and 1.60 (95% CI, 1.21–2.11), respectively. The incidence of OSA did not increase in PD patients (OR 0.89, 95% CI, 0.53–1.49). The MD of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in PD patients was also not statistically significant (P = 0.5).

Conclusions

The results indicate that OSA is one of independent risk factors of PD. However, OSA does not seem to be abnormally frequent in PD.
