Abstract
BACKGROUND
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common disease that has serious cardiovascular and metabolic effects. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels are reportedly reduced in patients with OSAHS; however, this is still a matter of debate. Therefore, we investigated the association between serum/plasma IGF-1 levels and OSAHS in this meta-analysis.
METHODS
Wan Fang, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, PubMed, and other databases were searched for materials published in any language before April 2, 2022. Two researchers analyzed the studies for quality according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The acquired data were analyzed using Stata 11.0 and R 3.6.1 software. The effect size was estimated and calculated using standard mean differences and correlation coefficients. Moreover, a combined analysis was conducted using either a random- or fixed-effects model.
RESULTS
Ultimately, 34 studies met our inclusion criteria. Our findings revealed that the plasma/serum IGF-1 concentrations in patients with OSAHS was significantly reduced compared with those in healthy subjects. Subgroup analyses were performed according to OSAHS severity, ethnicity, age, body mass index, specimen testing method, and study design. The outcomes suggested that nearly all subgroups of patients with OSAHS had reduced serum IGF-1 levels. Disease severity and differences in ethnicity were identified as possible influencing factors of serum IGF-1 levels in patients with OSAHS in the meta-regression analysis, and no other factors were found to alter plasma/serum IGF-1 concentrations. Moreover, plasma/serum IGF-1 concentrations were negatively correlated with apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index scores and positively associated with minimum oxygen saturation.
CONCLUSION
Serum/plasma IGF-1 concentrations in patients with OSAHS were greatly reduced compared with those of patients in the control group, and were negatively correlated with apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index scores and positively correlated with minimum oxygen saturation.
