Short TitleSleep disordered breathing in pregnancy -Systematic review and meta-analysis
Implications and Contributions• This study was conducted to evaluate a common sleep disorder that is increasingly prevalent in pregnancy given the rise in maternal obesity rates.• The results clearly indicate that intrapartum and perinatal outcomes in women with sleep-disordered breathing are significantly worse compared to controls and emphasize the high risk nature of these women.• As sleep-disordered breathing in pregnancy is generally under diagnosed, this review highlights the need to develop effective and timely screening and surveillance processes in this cohort of women.
