Global Prevalence of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Survivors: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) share a bidirectional relationship: SDB may increase ICH risk, while ICH can induce or exacerbate SDB. However, the prevalence and characteristics of post-ICH SDB remain poorly defined.

Objective

To estimate the prevalence of SDB among ICH survivors and examine associated clinical factors, including the relative burden of obstructive (OSA) versus central sleep apnea (CSA).

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Studies assessing SDB in adults with ICH using American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) category 1-4 diagnostic devices were included. Random-effects models estimated pooled prevalence at varying apnea-hypo
