AbstractSeveral studies have explored gastrointestinal surgery and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD), but the results of these studies are still controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate undergoing gastrointestinal surgery and the risk of PD in patients. PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect studies from inception to 1 March 2023. Stata15.1 software was used to perform meta-analysis of the data. Of 260 references screened, 8 studies involving 9,596,121 people were included eventually. Gastrointestinal surgery had no significant effect on the risk of PD (OR = 1.059, 95% CI: 0.915-1.224, I2 = 90.4%, p = 0.443). Several subgroup analyses showed that the patients with different regions, different surgical locations and different sample sizes after gastrointestinal surgery were not associated with the risk of PD. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis confirmed that the patients after gastrointestinal surgery were not associated with the risk of PD. There was no significant effect of gastrointestinal surgery on the risk of PD, but more studies should be included to confirm this observation. Key Words: Gastrointestinal surgery, Risk factor, Parkinson's disease, Meta-analysis.
