The exponential increase in obesity is responsible for the increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Weight loss is critical to improvement in OSA. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonism-based therapies (GLP1RA-BT) have been associated with significant weight loss. Several randomized controlled trials have been published evaluating the use of GLP1RA-BT on OSA. However, the literature review revealed that no systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) has been published evaluating the efficacy and safety of GLP1RA-BT in OSA.
Electronic databases were searched for studies documenting the use of GLP1RA-BT in OSA. The primary outcome was to evaluate the impact on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Secondary outcomes were to evaluate the impact on percent change in AHI, Epworth Sleepiness Score, body weight, blood pressure, and side-effect profile.
From initially screened 59 articles, data from 4 articles having 5 different randomized cohorts (937 patients) were analysed in this SRM. Use of GLP1RA-BT was associated with a significant reduction in AHI [MD-12.50 events/ hour (95% CI:-17.33 - -7.67); < 0.001; I=95%], percent-reduction in AHI [MD-52.17% (95% CI: -64.49 - -39.85); < 0.001; I = 0%], percent-reduction in body-weight [MD-12.46% (95% CI:-22.54 - -2.39); < 0.001; I = 99%] and systolic blood-pressure [MD -4.59 mm of Hg (95% CI:-6.61 - -2.58); P < 0.001; I = 67%]. The considerable heterogeneity was because of greater improvement in outcomes withtirzepatide compared to liraglutide. The occurrence of nausea [RR4.23 (95% CI: 2.73-6.55); < 0.001; I = 0%], vomiting [RR4.22 (95% CI: 2.12-8.41); < 0.001; I = 0%], diarrhoea [RR2.81 (95% CI: 1.84-4.31); < 0.001; I = 0%], and constipation [RR4.51 (95% CI: 2.47-8.26); < 0.001; I = 0%] were significantly higher with GLP1RA-BT compared to placebo.
This SRM provides encouraging data on the use of GLP1RA-BT in improving different respiratory aspects of OSA and reducing body weight and blood pressure.
肥胖人数呈指数增长,导致阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的患病率上升。体重减轻对于改善OSA至关重要。基于胰高血糖素样肽-1受体(GLP1R)激动剂的疗法(GLP1RA-BT)与显著的体重减轻相关。已经发表了几项随机对照试验,评估了GLP1RA-BT对OSA的治疗效果。然而,文献综述显示,尚未发表系统评价和荟萃分析(SRM)来评估GLP1RA-BT在OSA中的疗效和安全性。
检索电子数据库,查找记录GLP1RA-BT在OSA中应用的研究。主要结局是评估对呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)的影响。次要结局是评估对AHI变化百分比、爱泼华嗜睡量表、体重、血压和副作用的影响。
在本SRM中,从最初筛选的59篇文章中,分析了4篇文章中5个不同随机队列(937例患者)的数据。使用GLP1RA-BT与AHI显著降低相关[MD -12.50次/小时(95%CI:-17.33至-7.67);P<0.001;I²=95%],AHI降低百分比[MD -52.17%(95%CI:-64.49至-39.85);P<0.001;I²=0%],体重降低百分比[MD -12.46%(95%CI:-22.54至-2.39);P<0.001;I²=99%]和收缩压[MD -4.59 mmHg(95%CI:-6.61至-2.58);P<0.001;I²=67%]。相当大的异质性是由于替尔泊肽与利拉鲁肽相比,结局改善更大。与安慰剂相比,GLP1RA-BT组恶心[RR 4.23(95%CI:2.73 - 6.55);P<0.001;I²=0%]、呕吐[RR 4.22(95%CI:2.12 - 8.41);P<0.001;I²=0%]、腹泻[RR 2.81(95%CI:1.84 - 4.31);P<0.001;I²=0%]和便秘[RR 4.51(95%CI:2.47 - 8.26);P<0.001;I²=0%]的发生率显著更高。
本SRM提供了关于使用GLP1RA-BT改善OSA不同呼吸方面以及减轻体重和血压的令人鼓舞的数据。
