Abstract

Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite and probably one of the main causes of adverse birth outcomes. Still, there is a paucity of information regarding the burden of T. vaginalis infection in Iranian women. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on trichomoniasis among females in Iran from January 2000 to January 2023. We searched multiple electronic databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scientific Information Database, Iran Medex, Magiran and Iran Doc) and identified 108 articles with a total of 200 728 women. Using a random effects model, we found a pooled prevalence of 4.30% (95% CI 3.23 to 5.52%). Subgroup analysis, also, demonstrated a statistically significant association between the T. vaginalis prevalence in Iranian women, and the age range, city, sample type, being in prison, sex working and symptomatic infections. Our findings provide important information for healthcare authorities and can inform prevention strategies against trichomoniasis in Iran.

伊朗女性人口中阴道毛滴虫感染的流行率：系统回顾和荟萃分析。

阴道毛滴虫是一种原生动物寄生虫，可能是导致不良分娩后果的主要原因之一。然而，有关伊朗妇女阴道毛滴虫感染负担的信息仍然很少。为了填补这一空白，我们对 2000 年 1 月至 2023 年 1 月期间伊朗女性滴虫病的相关研究进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。我们检索了多个电子数据库（PubMed、Science Direct、Scopus、ProQuest、Web of Science、Google Scholar、Scientific Information Database、Iran Medex、Magiran 和 Iran Doc），共发现 108 篇文章，涉及 200 728 名女性。使用随机效应模型，我们发现总患病率为 4.30%（95% CI 3.23 至 5.52%）。亚组分析还显示，伊朗妇女的阴道特异性淋病流行率与年龄范围、城市、样本类型、是否在监狱服刑、性工作和无症状感染之间存在统计学意义上的显著关联。我们的研究结果为医疗机构提供了重要信息，并可为伊朗滴虫病预防策略提供参考。
