Meta AnalysisGastrointestinal Surgery and Risk of Parkinson's Disease: A Meta-Analysis.
Several 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. ⋯ 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.
