Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a common disorder in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the LPR prevalence in individuals with OSAHS and to analyze the correlation of LPR positivity with the clinical features of patients with OSAHS. A detailed review of the English and Chinese literature on the occurrence of LPR in patients with OSAHS was performed by employing online search tools such as PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, VIP, CNKI, WanFang, etc. Two researchers analyzed the studies for quality according to the STROBE standard checklist. The acquired data were analyzed using Stata 11.0 and R 3.6.1 software. The effect size was estimated and calculated using weighted mean difference (WMD) and correlation coefficients. Moreover, a combined analysis was performed by employing either a random-or fixed-effects model. Ultimately, 27 studies met our inclusion criteria. Our study revealed that the LPR prevalence in OSAHS patients was 49%. We carried out subgroup analyses as per OSAHS severity, ethnicity, and body mass index (BMI). The results suggested that the probability of LPR in European and American patients with OSAHS was higher, and the prevalence of LPR was higher in obese individuals and patients with severe OSAHS. Moreover, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and BMI were higher in LPR-positive OSAHS patients than in LPR-negative OSAHS patients, but no significant variation in age was observed in the two groups. Moreover, the reflux symptom index (RSI) scores and the reflux finding score (RFS) exhibited a positive correlation with AHI. The current literature shows a higher incidence of LPR in individuals with OSAHS (49%). The severity of AHI in individuals with OSAHS is associated with the presence of LPR. Patients with OSAHS accompanied by LPR showed higher BMI and AHI as compared to those patients with LPR-negative OSAHS.
