Prevalence and impact of sleep disorders in osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Sleep disorders (SD) are increasingly recognized as a major contributor to the symptom burden of osteoarthritis (OA), yet their epidemiology and clinical impact remain insufficiently characterized. This systematic literature review with meta-analysis aims to quantify the prevalence of SD in OA patients and to assess their influence on patient-reported outcomes.

Method

We searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases up to 22 July 2025 (PROSPERO CRD120251067310). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), sleep efficiency, and the number of patients with SD, including insomnia, sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome (RLS) were collected. The prevalence of SD was calculated using metaproportion. Differences were measured using the inverse
