The potential carcinogenic and airway irritation risks of polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) contained in sound-absorbing foam in positive airway pressure (PAP) devices have raised many concerns. We summarize the currently available studies to assess the potential health risks of PE-PUR.
We searched Pubmed and Web of Science for studies on the safety of PAP devices containing PE-PUF and performed a systematic analysis of the cancer risk.
PE-PUR did not increase the cancer risk (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.99-1.17, I2 = 0%). Patients in the group of PE-PUR devices had increased airway irritation, and they had higher rates of using short-acting beta-agonists and oral corticosteroids (SABA: 9.4% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.047; OCS: 19.7% vs. 17.3%, p < 0.001).
The application of PE-PUF can increase airway irritation, but there is no evidence for its potential carcinogenicity.
正压通气(PAP)设备中吸音泡沫所含的聚酯基聚氨酯(PE-PUR)存在潜在致癌和气道刺激风险,引发了诸多担忧。我们总结当前可得研究,以评估PE-PUR的潜在健康风险。
我们在PubMed和科学网搜索了关于含PE-PUF的PAP设备安全性的研究,并对癌症风险进行了系统分析。
PE-PUR未增加癌症风险(比值比:1.08,95%置信区间:0.99 - 1.17,I² = 0%)。使用PE-PUR设备的患者气道刺激增加,且使用短效β-激动剂和口服糖皮质激素的比例更高(短效β-激动剂:9.4%对8.8%,p = 0.047;口服糖皮质激素:19.7%对17.3%,p < 0.001)。
PE-PUF的应用会增加气道刺激,但尚无证据表明其具有潜在致癌性。
