Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasitic infection (IPI) poses a serious public health threat across the globe, particularly in children in low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia. This study was to provide pooled estimates for the individually available data on IPI and its predictors among children under five in Ethiopia. Methods: Cochrane's Q, I², sensitivity analysis, funnel plot, Begg's, and Egger's regression tests were used to check heterogeneity and publication bias. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled burden of IPI among children under five. Results: The pooled prevalence of IPI among children under five was 28.27% (95% CI = 20.52-36.03%). Of these, single and mixed infections contribute to 28.02% and 0.25%. Intestinal parasites were significantly associated with eating raw fruits and vegetables [AO = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.11, 5.31]. Conclusion: Under the present scenario, the IPI ranges from 17.78 to 40.05%, and the IPI is higher in community-based studies of children under five.

2010-2023年埃塞俄比亚5岁以下儿童肠道寄生虫数量和决定因素:系统回顾和荟萃分析

背景:肠道寄生虫感染(IPI)在全球范围内构成严重的公共卫生威胁，特别是对埃塞俄比亚等低收入和中等收入国家的儿童。本研究旨在为埃塞俄比亚五岁以下儿童的IPI及其预测因子的单独可用数据提供汇总估计。方法:采用Cochrane’s Q、I2、敏感性分析、漏斗图、Begg’s和Egger’s回归检验检验异质性和发表偏倚。采用随机效应模型计算五岁以下儿童IPI综合负担。结果:5岁以下儿童IPI总患病率为28.27% (95% CI = 20.52 ~ 36.03%)。其中，单一感染和混合感染分别占28.02%和0.25%。肠道寄生虫与食用生水果和蔬菜显著相关[AO = 3.21, 95% CI = 1.11, 5.31]。结论:在本情景下，5岁以下儿童的IPI在17.78 ~ 40.05%之间，以社区为基础的研究IPI更高。

期刊介绍： Fetal and Pediatric Pathology is an established bimonthly international journal that publishes data on diseases of the developing embryo, newborns, children, and adolescents. The journal publishes original and review articles and reportable case reports. The expanded scope of the journal encompasses molecular basis of genetic disorders; molecular basis of diseases that lead to implantation failures; molecular basis of abnormal placentation; placentology and molecular basis of habitual abortion; intrauterine development and molecular basis of embryonic death; pathogenisis and etiologic factors involved in sudden infant death syndrome; the underlying molecular basis, and pathogenesis of diseases that lead to morbidity and mortality in newborns; prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric diseases and molecular basis of diseases of childhood including solid tumors and tumors of the hematopoietic system; and experimental and molecular pathology.
