Objective  To systematically evaluate the risk factors for hypoxemia after Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) surgery. Methods  Electronic databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and CBM were searched by computer to collect studies about risk factors for hypoxemia after TAAD published from inception to November 2021. Two authors independently assessed the studies' quality, and a meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 19 case-control studies involving 2 686 patients and among them 1 085 patients suffered hypoxemia, included 21 predictive risk factors. The score of Newcastle-Ottawa scale≥7 points in 16 studies. Meta-analysis showed that: age (OR=1.10, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.14, P<0.000 01), body mass index (OR=1.87, 95%CI 1.49 to 2.34, P<0.000 01), preoperative partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fractional concentration of inspiratory oxygen (PaO2/FiO2)≤300 mm Hg (OR=7.13, 95%CI 3.48 to 14.61, P<0.000 01), preoperative white blood cell count (OR=1.34, 95%CI 1.18 to 1.53, P<0.000 1), deep hypothermic circulatory arrest time (OR=1.33, 95%CI 1.14 to 1.57, P=0.000 4), perioperative blood transfusion (OR=1.89, 95%CI 1.49 to 2.41, P<0.000 01), cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=1.02, 95%CI 1.00 to 1.03, P=0.02) were independent risk factors for hypoxemia after TAAD surgery. Preoperative serum creatinine, preoperative myoglobin, preoperative alanine aminotransferase were not associated with postoperative hypoxemia. Conclusion  Current evidence shows that age, body mass index, preoperative PaO2/FiO2≤300 mm Hg, preoperative white blood cell count, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest time, perioperative blood transfusion, cardiopulmonary bypass time are risk factors for hypoxemia after TAAD surgery. These factors can be used to identify high-risk patients, and provide guidance for medical staff to develop perioperative preventive strategy to reduce the incidence of hypoxemia. The results should be validated by higher quality researches.
