RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to examine the relationship between infertility and sleep quality in women. METHODS: The literature search was conducted between October and November 2022 with full-text studies from PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Scientific Information Database (SID). The study is based on the recommendations of the Cochrane guidelines. The data were analyzed using the Review Manager computer software (Version 5.3). RESULTS: A systematic literature review was conducted, with 11 studies included. The meta-analysis revealed a significant difference between infertility and sleep quality in women, that the sleep quality of infertile patients decreased (SMD: -0.75 95% CI: -0.84 to -0.66, Z = 16.46, P < .00001), and that there was a significant difference between infertility and depression (SMD: -0.18 95% CI: -0.27 to -0.09, Z = 4.00, P < .0001). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that sleep quality is low in infertile women. PROSPERO ID: (CRD42023404389).
