Association between elevated cystatin C levels and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: a systematic review and updated meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study seeks to elucidate variances in cystatin C levels between patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) and controls while also assessing the impact of cystatin C on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications in patients with OSAHS. Furthermore, the benefits of surgery or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in reducing cystatin C levels in patients with OSAHS were explored.

Methods

A thorough search was undertaken across various medical databases, namely PubMed, CNKI, EMBASE, Web of Science, and WanFang, until October 1, 2024, to determine published articles pertinent to OSAHS. The present research conducted a comprehensive review of the literature concerning cystatin C levels in both patients with OSAHS and contr
