Umbrella Review of Periodontal Disease and Sleep Apnea Association

Franz Tito Coronel-Zubiate's 2026 umbrella review synthesizes evidence from 11 systematic reviews on the link between periodontal disease and obstructive sleep apnea. The review, registered on OSF, critically appraised studies using AMSTAR-2 and ROBIS tools, finding a consistent positive association.

Use Cases

• Extract structured findings on the association between periodontal disease and obstructive sleep apnea from the 11 included systematic reviews.
• Analyze methodological quality assessments performed using the AMSTAR-2 tool across the review corpus.
• Identify variability in diagnostic criteria and study designs reported across the included systematic reviews.
• Use the ROBIS tool risk-of-bias assessments to filter evidence for meta-analytical modeling.

Strengths

• Includes 11 systematic reviews meeting strict inclusion criteria from an initial 217 records.
• Methodological quality is formally evaluated using the AMSTAR-2 tool.
• Risk of bias is assessed using the ROBIS tool, providing transparency.
• Published under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset is a single 691.3 KB DOCX file containing narrative text, not structured tabular data for direct computational analysis.
• Evidence is based on observational primary studies, limiting causal inference as noted in the conclusion.
• Scope is limited to the specific research question of PD and OSA association.
