There was no evidence for heterogeneity ( I 2 = 0%) nor publication bias. When comparing the highest (в‰Ґ1/day) to the lowest category of egg consumption, pooled relative risk of HF was 1.25 (95% confidence interval = 1.12вЂ“1.39 p = 0.00). Results: We identified four prospective cohorts for a total of 105,999 subjects and 5,059 cases of new onset HF. All analyses were performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (version 2.2.064). Publication bias was assessed graphically using a funnel plot. A random effects model was used and between studies heterogeneity was estimated with I 2. Methods: Using extensive online search, we conducted a meta-analysis of new onset HF following exposure to egg consumption. We, therefore, conducted this meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies to assess the relation of egg consumption with incident HF in the general population. Data on the association of egg consumption with incident HF have been inconsistent.
