Objective: According to clinical observation and recent studies, there is a significant association between night sleep duration and hyperuricemia. In this study, systematic review and network meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the risk of hyperuricemia associated with different nighttime sleep durations.Methods: Seven databases were searched from database inception to March 2020. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, quality appraisal, and data extraction. Conventional meta-analysis was conducted using either a fixed-effects or random-effects model according to statistical heterogeneity. A Bayesian network metaanalysis was conducted using the consistency model.Results: Six studies with 416684 patients and involving different nighttime sleep durations were included. The network meta-analysis showed that compared with normal nighttime sleep duration, the pooled risk ratio (RR) for short nighttime sleep duration was 1.26 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-1.30,p<0.00001).Compared with long nighttime sleep duration, pooled RR of HUA with normal nighttime sleep duration was 0.81 (95% CI 0.67-0.99, p=0.03).Compared with long nighttime sleep duration, pooled RR of HUA with short nighttime sleep duration was 1.07 (95% CI 0.90-1.28, p=0.43).Conclusions: The evidence in this network meta-analysis illustrates that both short and long sleep duration increased the risk of hyperuricemia, and short sleep duration was more harmful. Further high-quality studies are required to explore the Mechanism of the nighttime sleep duration influencing hyperuricemia.
