ABSTRACT
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder associated with considerable morbidity. However, there is an underrepresentation of data from India and other developing countries in global reviews of OSA prevalence. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the prevalence of OSA in India. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched for articles that reported the prevalence of OSA in the general Indian adult population using sleep studies. Eight studies were included comprising 11,009 subjects with mean age ranging from 35.5 to 47.8 years. On the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist for prevalence studies, the study quality ranged from 3/9 to 9/9. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model. The pooled prevalence of OSA (AHI ≥5 events/hour) was 11% overall (95% CI 7%-15%; I2 = 98.0%, p<0.001), 13% in males (95% CI 7%-18%; I2 = 96.0%, p<0.001), and 5% in females (95% CI 3%-7%; I2 = 73.3%, p = 0.01). The pooled prevalence of moderate-to-severe OSA (AHI ≥15 events/hour) was 5% (95% CI 2%-8%, I2 = 95.3%; p = 0.01). Based on these findings, approximately 104 million Indians of working age suffer from OSA, of whom 47 million have moderate-to-severe OSA. This represents a major public health problem in India with important implications for the global burden of the disease.
