Objective To investigate the risk factors of dysphagia in lung transplant recipients through meta-analysis. Method Cohort studies and case-control studies on risk factors for dysphagia after lung transplantation in Science, Scopus and ProQuest databases were searched from the establishment of the database to July 2023. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, Meta-analysis was performed using Rev Man 5.4 and Stata17.0 software. Results 12 literatures were included, and the results of meta-analysis showed: The incidence of dysphagia in lung transplant recipients was 67% (95%CI 0.59~0.75, I2 =92.44%, P<0.001). There were three risk factors for dysphagia in lung transplant recipients, namely, reintubation (OR=5.34, 95%CI 3.07~9.28, I2 =0%, P<0.001), mechanical ventilation (OR= 4.25, 95%CI 2.95~6.12, I2 =0%, P<0.001), extracorporeal life support (OR=2.13, 95%CI 1.69~2.67, I2 =0%, P<0.001).Conclusions Lung transplant recipients with re-intubation, mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal life support are more likely to have dysphagia after surgery. Nursing staff can combine risk factors and formulate targeted nursing measures to reduce the incidence of dysphagia after lung transplantation.
