Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Behcet's syndrome in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS).
Material and methods: A search was performed in Scopus, Medline/PubMed, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases, according to PRISMA. In addition, a search was carried out in the DANS Easy Archive to access gray literature and a manual search in the reference list of included studies was used as an additional resource to refine the search. Cross-sectional studies in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis evaluating the diagnosis of Behcet's syndrome were analyzed to identify prevalence. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist was used to assess the methodological quality of the articles.
Results: The study design, sample size, sex, International Study Group (ISG) diagnostic criteria and prevalence of the syndrome were evaluated. After screening and reading the articles in full, 7 met the inclusion criteria. The articles involved a total of 2841 participants with recurrent aphthous ulcerations, with 141 having a diagnosis of Behcet's syndrome. Studies were of good quality as assessed by the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for cross-sectional studies.
Conclusions: The prevalence of Behcet's syndrome in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is generally low, with similar frequency in both sexes and more common in the range of countries that extends from the Mediterranean Basin to the Far East.
背景：本研究的目的是评估复发性口疮性口炎（RAS）患者白塞综合征的患病率。材料和方法：根据PRISMA，在Scopus， Medline/PubMed， The Cochrane Library和Web of Science数据库中进行了搜索。此外，在DANS Easy Archive中进行了检索，以获取灰色文献，并在纳入研究的参考文献列表中进行了手动检索，作为改进检索的额外资源。对复发性口腔炎患者的横断面研究进行分析，评估白塞综合征的诊断，以确定患病率。乔安娜布里格斯研究所（JBI）关键评估清单用于评估文章的方法学质量。结果：对研究设计、样本量、性别、国际研究组（ISG）诊断标准和综合征患病率进行了评估。全文筛选阅读后，有7篇文章符合入选标准。这些文章共涉及2841名复发性口疮溃疡患者，其中141人被诊断为白塞综合征。通过JBI关键评估清单对横断面研究进行评估，研究质量良好。结论：复发性口疮性口炎（RAS）患者的白塞综合征患病率普遍较低，男女发病率相似，在从地中海盆地到远东的国家范围内更为常见。
