Effects of Breathing Rehabilitation Training on Middle-aged and Elderly Patients with Simple Obstructive Sleep Apnea: a Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy of respiratory rehabilitation training in the treatment of middle-aged and elderly patients with simple obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Methods The study has been registered on platform PROSPERO (No. CRD42022331424). Search PubMed, Embase, Web of science and Cochrane Library, China knowledge Network full-text Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, WANFANG, VIP to obtain randomized controlled trials of respiratory-related training in the treatment of OSAS. The search time limit is from the establishment of the database to April 2022. The quality is evaluated through the Cochrane system evaluation manual, the bias risk assessment chart is made by Revman5.4, and the data analysis software is based on Stata15.1 software. Results 7 literatures were obtained, with a total of 141 subjects. Meta analysis showed that after respiratory rehabilitation training, there was no significant difference in the score of sleep disturbance index(AHI) (MD=-0.13, 95% CI-0.52-0.26, P>0.05) between the test group and the control group, but the scores of Epworth sleepiness scale(MD=-0.79, 95% CI-1.22- -0.36,P<0.05) and PSQI sleep quality index (MD=-1.23, 95% CI -1.66- -0.79, P<0.05) in the test group were significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusion Breathing rehabilitation training can improve the clinical symptoms of OSAS, reduce daytime drowsiness and improve sleep quality.
