Abstract EN
Purpose.
The efficacy of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on uric acid (UA) yielded conflicting results.
This meta-analysis was performed to assess whether OSA treatment with CPAP could reduce UA levels.
Methods.
The Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed were searched before March 2019.
Information of patients, study design, and pre- and post-CPAP treatment of UA was utilized for analysis.
The overall effects were analyzed via the standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Five studies were obtained and the meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 and Review Manager 5.2.
Results.
A total of 5 studies with 6 cohorts (2 RCT and 3 observational studies) involving 270 patients were pooled into meta-analysis.
There was no change of UA levels before and after CPAP treatment in OSA patients (SMD=‐0.20, 95% CI: -0.78 to 0.37, Z=0.69, p=0.49).
Subgroup analysis showed that the outcomes were not affected by age of patients, gender distribution, baseline body mass index, daily duration, duration of CPAP treatment, sample size, and study design.
Conclusions.
This meta-analysis revealed that CPAP treatment has no effect on UA in OSA patients.
Further well-designed, large-scale randomized controlled trials are required to address this issue.
