PURPOSE: The effects of sleep surgery on the lipid profile of adults diagnosed as having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remain unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to clarify whether sleep surgeries improve patients' lipid profile.

METHODS: The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020154425). Two authors independently searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane review databases up to September 2020 using keywords such as sleep apnea, OSA, sleep apnea syndromes, lipids, and surgery. The effects of sleep surgery on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lipid profile parameters were evaluated using a random-effects model.

RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included, with a total of 710 patients (mean age: 42.0 years; 85% men; mean sample size: 54.6 patients). The summary estimate of AHI change was - 20.6 events/h (95% CI - 25.9 to - 15.3) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score was - 4.2 (95% CI - 5.9 to - 2.5). Sleep surgery lowered total cholesterol (mean - 7.7 mg/dL; 95% CI - 12.2 to - 3.2), low-density lipoprotein (mean - 7.2 mg/dL; 95% CI - 11.0 to - 3.3), and triglyceride (mean - 14.0 mg/dL; 95% CI - 22.2 to - 5.8) levels but did not affect high-density lipoprotein (mean 1.5 mg/dL; 95% CI - 0.6 to 3.7) levels. Subgroup analysis revealed that the lipid profile changes were not associated with the surgical procedure but with the degree of OSA improvement. Meta-regression analyses demonstrated that the improvement in the lipid profile was positively correlated with AHI reduction.

CONCLUSION: Surgeries for OSA may improve the lipid profile, which is positively correlated with the degree of OSA improvement.
