Interleukin-8 concentrations in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Interleukin (IL)-8 has been shown to play an important role in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, its role in OSAS development is still controversial. This meta-analysis was to explore the correlation between interleukin (IL)-8 concentration and OSAS. Database (from the inception to July 2021) searches on PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were conducted for studies analyzing the correlation between IL-8 concentration and OSAS, regardless of the language of publication. Standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to analyze any prospective association between IL-8 concentration and OSAS. A total of 25 eligible studies, including 2301 participants and 1123 controls, were included in this meta-analysis. The included
