Abstract：Objective To review systematically whether or not sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) increasing the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in common population.Methods The databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, MedLine, CNKI, VIP Database and WanFang Database were retrieved with computer for searching the observational studies on the relationship between SAHS and AF risk in common population up to Oct. 2016. The literature screening, data extracting and quality reviewing were completed by 2 researchers according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and eligible documents were included and given a Meta-analysis by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results There were totally 232 documents retrieved and 7 eligible documents were intaken. The results of Meta-analysis showed that SAHS increased significantly AF risk in common population (RR=1.80, 95%CI:1.41-2.29,P<0.00001,I2=69%). Compared with normal group, medium SAHS increased AF risk by 111%(RR=2.11, 95%CI: 1.22-3.64,P=0.008,I2=70%) and severe SAHS increased AF risk by 164% (RR=2.64, 95%CI:1.52-4.58,P=0.0005,I2=72%) in SAHS group.Conclusion SAHS can significantly increase AF risk in common population, and as the index of SAHS increases, AF risk increases gradually.
