摘要

摘要目的对阿拉伯国家癌症前列腺研究现状进行范围界定，并系统地绘制癌症治疗途径的出版物。阿拉伯世界前列腺癌症发病率一直在上升，解决其日益增加的负担需要循证政策。方法我们使用受控词汇和关键词在Medline、PubMed和Scopus上搜索与我们的研究主题和感兴趣国家相关的同行评审出版物。搜索结果在2000年至2020年期间受到限制，进行了重复筛选，然后根据预先指定的资格标准纳入我们的研究。我们使用结构化数据提取表来提取与文章、文章方法、癌症治疗途径、资金状况和作者相关的信息。结果我们共检索到4142篇出版物，其中874篇在应用资格标准后仍然存在。趋势显示，阿拉伯世界对前列腺癌症的研究稳步增加。大多数研究都集中在诊断和治疗上，而明显缺乏有关筛查和预防的研究以及流行病学数据。大多数研究没有得到资助，也没有女性作者。国家国内生产总值和人口与其研究产出呈正相关。美国的通讯作者数量最多。大多数基于阿拉伯的研究没有涉及与其他国家的合作。大多数研究都是基础或临床研究，证据水平较低。结论我们目前的综述确定了阿拉伯国家在前列腺癌症研究方面的重大差距和局限性。研究投资的优先领域也被强调为制定针对具体情况的卫生政策的第一步。缩写ASR：年龄标准化率；新冠肺炎：2019冠状病毒病；国内生产总值：国内生产总值；人类发展指数：人类发展指数；KSA：沙特阿拉伯王国；阿联酋：阿拉伯联合酋长国

Prostate cancer in the Arab world: Bibliometric review and research priority recommendations

ABSTRACT Objective To conduct a scoping review examining the status of prostate cancer research in Arab countries and systematically map publications across the cancer care pathway. Prostate cancer incidence has been rising in the Arab world and tackling its increasing burden will require evidence-based policies. Methods We searched Medline, PubMed and Scopus for peer-reviewed publications related to both our research topic and countries of interest by using controlled vocabulary and keywords. Search results were limited for the period between 2000 and 2020, screened for duplicates, and then included in our study based on pre-specified eligibility criteria. We used a structured data extraction form to extract information related to the article, its methodology, its cancer care pathway, funding status, and authorship. Results A total of 4142 publications were retrieved from our search, of which 874 articles remained after applying eligibility criteria. Trends show a steady increase in prostate cancer research in the Arab world. Most studies were focussed on diagnosis and treatment, whereas a lack in studies concerning screening and prevention, as well as epidemiological data, was evident. Most studies were not funded and had no female author. Country gross domestic product and population were positively correlated with its research output. The USA had the highest number of corresponding authors. The majority of Arab-based studies did not involve collaborations with other countries. Most research conducted was basic or clinical studies with a low level of evidence. Conclusion Our present review identified significant gaps and limitations in prostate cancer research in Arab countries. Priority areas for research investment have also been highlighted as a first step towards context-specific health policies.

期刊介绍： The Arab Journal of Urology is a peer-reviewed journal that strives to provide a high standard of research and clinical material to the widest possible urological community worldwide. The journal encompasses all aspects of urology including: urological oncology, urological reconstructive surgery, urodynamics, female urology, pediatric urology, endourology, transplantation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary infections and inflammations. The journal provides reviews, original articles, editorials, surgical techniques, cases reports and correspondence. Urologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and scientists are invited to submit their contributions to make the Arab Journal of Urology a viable international forum for the practical, timely and state-of-the-art clinical urology and basic urological research.
