Kang KT, Yeh TH, Hsu YS, et al. - Researchers conducted this meta‐analysis to assess correlations between sleep surgery and CRP (C‐reactive protein) levels in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Using a random‐effects model, the effects of sleep surgery on CRP levels were examined. Participants in the study were 277 patients (mean age: 46.5 years; 92% men; mean sample size: 30.8 patients). In adults, sleep surgery for OSA resulted in a significant reduction in CRP levels. The beneficial effect of surgery on CRP levels is greater in patients who have significant improvement in OSA (ie, apnea-hypopnea index reduction > 20 events/hr) following sleep surgery.
