Efficient health-care for pregnant women require accurate data on the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in pregnancy at global, regional, and country levels. In this systematic review with meta- and modelling-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, Global Index Medicus, and Africa Journal Online to identify studies that reported enough data to compute the immunoglobulins (Ig) M or G seroprevalence estimates of Toxoplasma gondii in pregnant women up to December 31st, 2018, without any language restriction. The global and regional estimates were done using a random-effects meta-analysis. We included 250 studies with 723,655 pregnant women. The global IgM seroprevalence was 1.9% (95%CI: 1.7-2.3). At the regional level, Eastern Mediterranean had the highest IgM seroprevalence (4.1%, 95%CI: 2.8-5.5) and The Americas, the lowest (1.1%, 0.8-1.4), with a statistically significant difference between WHO regions (p < 0.0001). The global IgG seroprevalence was 32.9% (95%CI: 29.4-36.4). Among WHO regions, The Americas had the highest prevalence (45.2%, 95%CI: 33.4-53.4) and Western Pacific the lowest (11.2%, 7.8-15.1), with a statistically significant difference between regions (p < 0.0001). This study presents a high toxoplasma seropositivity in pregnant women at global, regional and country levels, with a consequential high risk of maternal and congenital toxoplasmosis.
为了实现孕妇医疗保健的高效性,我们需要掌握全球、地区和国家层面妊娠期弓形虫病流行率的准确数据。在这项系统综述中,我们通过荟萃分析和模型分析,检索了 PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Knowledge、全球医学索引和非洲在线期刊,以确定截至 2018 年 12 月 31 日,发表的报道了足够数据以计算孕妇弓形虫免疫球蛋白(Ig)M 或 G 血清阳性率估计值的研究,且这些研究没有任何语言限制。我们采用随机效应荟萃分析来计算全球和地区估计值。我们共纳入了 250 项研究,共涉及 723655 名孕妇。全球 IgM 血清阳性率为 1.9%(95%CI:1.7-2.3)。在地区层面,东地中海地区的 IgM 血清阳性率最高(4.1%,95%CI:2.8-5.5),美洲地区最低(1.1%,0.8-1.4),不同世卫组织地区之间存在统计学显著差异(p<0.0001)。全球 IgG 血清阳性率为 32.9%(95%CI:29.4-36.4)。在世卫组织地区中,美洲地区的 IgG 血清阳性率最高(45.2%,95%CI:33.4-53.4),西太平洋地区最低(11.2%,7.8-15.1),不同地区之间存在统计学显著差异(p<0.0001)。本研究表明,全球、地区和国家层面孕妇的弓形虫血清阳性率较高,母体和先天性弓形虫病的风险较大。
