Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the presence of various neuroimaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane library (from inception to May 2019) for studies evaluating the association between OSA and CSVD, which included white matter hyperintensities (WMH), silent brain infarction (SBI), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and perivascular spaces (PVS). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were estimated using random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS: After screening 7290 publications, 20 studies were finally included involving 6036 subjects. The sample size ranged from 27 to 1763 (median 158, interquartile range: 67-393). The meta-analysis showed that moderate to severe OSA was positively associated with WMH (13 studies, n = 4412, OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.53 to 3.25, I2 = 80.3%) and SBI (12 studies, n = 3353, OR 1.54, 95% CI = 1.06 to 2.23, I2 = 52%). There was no association with CMBs (three studies, n = 342, OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 0.61 to 7.73, I2 = 60.2%) or PVS (two studies, n = 267, OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 0.28 to 8.57, I2 = 69.5%). There was no relationship between mild OSA and CSVD. CONCLUSION: Current evidence suggests that moderate to severe sleep apnea is positively related to WMH and SBI, but not CMBs or PVS, which suggests that OSA may contribute to the pathogenesis of CSVD. Further large cohort studies should be prioritized to confirm the findings. © Sleep Research Society 2019. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Sleep Research Society.
