| Popis: | Objective: Snoring is a dominant clinical symptom in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and analyzing snoring sounds might be a potential alternative to polysomnography (PSG) for the assessment of OSA. This study aimed to systematically examine the correlation between the snoring sounds and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as the measures of OSA severity. Material and Methods: A comprehensive literature review using the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and PubMed databases identified the published studies reporting the correlations between and severity of snoring and the AHI values by meta-regression analysis. Results: In total, 13 studies involving 3,153 adult patients were included in this study. The pooled correlation coefficient for snoring sounds and AHI values was 0.71 (95%CI: 0.49, 0.85) from the random-effects meta-analysis with the Knapp and Hartung adjustment. The I 2 and chi-square Q test demonstrated significant heterogeneity (97.6% and p |
