Evaluation of Blood Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Level in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and objective: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) appears to be an active and important biomarker for decreasing the risk of cardiovascular issues among individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Herein, a systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to probe whether plasma/serum ICAM-1levels are different in adults with OSA compared to adults with no OSA, as well as adults with severe OSA compared to adults with mild/moderate OSA. Materials and methods: A thorough and systematic literature search was performed in four databases (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) until 17 July 2022, without any age and sample size restrictions to retrieve the relevant articles. The standardized mean difference (SMD) along with a 95% conf
