We conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review of five sexual problems in order to estimate their population prevalence and to investigate issues arising from the reviewing of epidemiological literature. Two independent reviewers scrutinized abstracts, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Twenty-eight relevant studies were identified. Prevalence figures varied considerably, and meta-analysis was not possible because of heterogeneity in study quality and design. Prevalence depends on case definition, characteristics of the study population, and time frame of the prevalence estimates, therefore, design, implementation, and reporting of epidemiological studies needs standardization before systematic reviews and meta-analyses can be carried out.
我们对五个性问题进行了全面的系统文献综述，以估计其在人群中的患病率，并调查流行病学文献综述中出现的问题。两名独立评审员仔细审查了摘要、提取了数据并评估了方法学质量。共识别出28项相关研究。患病率数据差异很大，由于研究质量和设计的异质性，无法进行荟萃分析。患病率取决于病例定义、研究人群的特征以及患病率估计的时间框架，因此，在进行系统评价和荟萃分析之前，流行病学研究的设计、实施和报告需要标准化。
