Abstract

BACKGROUND

Cotton workers are exposed to various hazards in the textile industry that might result in different ailments including hypertension (HTN). However, few attempts have been made to systematically review the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factor among cotton textile workers in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The objective of this study will be to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors among adult cotton textile workers in low- and middle-income countries.

METHODS

We designed and registered a study protocol for a systematic review of descriptive epidemiology data. We will include observational studies (e.g., cross-sectional, cohort, surveys) on the epidemiology of hypertension among adult cotton textile workers in low- and middle-income countries. The primary outcome will be the prevalence of hypertension. Secondary outcomes will be the prevalence of risk factors of hypertension. Literature searches will be conducted in multiple electronic databases (from January 2000 onwards), including PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library. Gray literature will be identified through searching conference abstracts, thesis dissertations, and public repositories. Two investigators will independently screen all citations, full-text articles, and abstract data. The study methodological quality (or bias) will be appraised using an appropriate tool. If feasible, we will conduct random effects meta-analysis. Additional analyses will be conducted to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity (e.g., age, gender, years of service, textile department).

DISCUSSION

This systematic review will identify, evaluate, and integrate evidence on the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among adult cotton textile workers in low- and middle-income countries. Our findings will be made publicly available in a repository and published in a peer-reviewed journal.

摘要

背景

纺织行业的棉纺工人面临着各种危害，可能导致包括高血压（HTN）在内的各种疾病。然而，很少有人试图系统地审查中低收入国家（LMICs）棉纺工人高血压的流行情况及其危险因素。本研究的目的是评估中低收入国家成年棉纺工人高血压的流行情况及其危险因素。

方法

我们为描述性流行病学数据的系统评价设计并注册了研究方案。我们将包括观察性研究（例如横断面、队列、调查），研究中低收入国家成年棉纺工人的高血压流行病学。主要结局将是高血压的患病率。次要结局将是高血压危险因素的患病率。文献检索将在多个电子数据库（自 2000 年 1 月起）中进行，包括 PubMed/MEDLINE、CINAHL、Science Direct 和 Cochrane Library。灰色文献将通过搜索会议摘要、论文、公共存储库来确定。两名调查员将独立筛选所有引用、全文文章和摘要数据。使用适当的工具评估研究方法学质量（或偏倚）。如果可行，我们将进行随机效应荟萃分析。还将进行额外分析，以探讨异质性的潜在来源（例如年龄、性别、服务年限、纺织部门）。
