Umbrella Review on Periodontal Disease and Sleep Apnea Association

Franz Tito Coronel-Zubiate's 2026 umbrella review synthesizes evidence from 11 systematic reviews on the association between periodontal disease and obstructive sleep apnea. The work critically appraises methodological quality using AMSTAR-2 and assesses risk of bias with the ROBIS tool.

Use Cases

• Extract and analyze the reported positive association between periodontal disease and obstructive sleep apnea from the 11 included systematic reviews.
• Compare methodological quality assessments from the AMSTAR-2 tool evaluations across the included reviews.
• Examine risk of bias findings from the ROBIS tool assessments to gauge evidence reliability.
• Identify variability in diagnostic criteria and study design noted in the review results.

Strengths

• Focuses on 11 systematic reviews meeting strict inclusion criteria from an initial 217 records.
• Employs standardized appraisal tools (AMSTAR-2 and ROBIS) for methodological quality and risk of bias.
• Covers literature from 9 major databases up to December 2025.
• Registered on the Open Science Framework with a public DOI.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 687.5 KB DOCX document, not a structured tabular dataset for direct computational analysis.
• Conclusions are based on observational primary studies, limiting causal inference as noted by the author.
• The scope is defined by the specific research question, excluding other study types like clinical trials or narrative reviews.
