Multidimensional sleep health and diabetic retinopathy: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most prevalent microvascular diabetic complications. Poor sleep health and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are risk factors for diabetes and poor glycemic control. Recent studies have suggested associations between poor sleep health/OSA and DR. Furthermore, there have been suggestions of melatonin dysregulation in the context of DR. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis exploring the associations between multidimensional sleep health (duration, satisfaction, efficiency, timing/regularity and alertness), OSA and melatonin with DR. Forty-two studies were included. Long, but not short sleep, was significantly associated with DR, OR 1.41 (95%CI 1.21, 1.64). Poor sleep satisfaction was also significantly associated with DR, OR 2.04 (1.41, 2.94)
