Abstract EN
Controversial findings are reported about the relationship between floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
The main goal of this study was to evaluate whether FES is more prevalent in OSAS patients by performing a meta-analysis.
A comprehensive literature search of Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed.
Only studies related to the prevalence of FES in OSAS were included in the meta-analysis.
We estimated a pooled odds ratio (OR) for the prevalence of FES in OSAS.
In total, 6 studies with 767 participants met the inclusion criteria.
Using a fixed-effects model, the pooled OR was 4.12.
The test for the overall effect revealed that FES was statistically prevalent in OSAS patients when compared with that in non-OSAS subjects ( Z = 4 .
9 8 , p < 0.00001 ).
In the subgroup analysis by OSAS severity, the incidence of FES in OSAS increased with severity of OSAS as indicated with increased OR values (OR = 2.56, 4.62, and 7.64 for mild, moderate, and severe OSAS).
In conclusion, the results indicate that FES is more prevalent in OSAS patients.
However, this result was based only on unadjusted estimates.
Prospective cohort studies are needed to determine whether OSAS is an independent risk factor for FES.
