A systematic review was performed aiming to identify the various occupational risk factors of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among female workers. A systematic, comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was conducted to identify studies published until 24 November 2021, evaluating the possible occupational risk factors of LUTS among female workers. Two reviewers assessed all articles retrieved through a computerised search for eligibility using predetermined criteria. Data on the first author, publication year, country, study design, participants, identified occupational risk factors, outcome variables and main results were extracted from the selected articles. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale guidelines were adopted to estimate the quality scores. Overall, our search yielded a total of 16 articles suitable for review. The occupational risk factors identified in the studies were strenuous physical demand and activity, prolonged sitting, occupational stress, shift work, limited use of the toilet at work and other occupational environments (eg, an unclean and uncomfortable workplace, dangerous job and probability of accidents, feeling pressed for time and awkward position for long periods). The findings of this review may raise awareness regarding the risk of LUTS among female workers with these factors. From an occupational health perspective, the implementation of tailored prevention strategies based on these occupational factors may prevent female workers from developing LUTS. CRD42022316728.
进行了一项系统评价，旨在确定女性工人下尿路症状（LUTS）的各种职业危险因素。对PubMed、Embase和Cochrane图书馆数据库进行了系统、全面的文献检索，以识别截至2021年11月24日发表的评估女性工人LUTS可能职业危险因素的研究。两名评审员使用预定标准评估通过计算机检索获得的所有文章是否符合纳入标准。从选定文章中提取第一作者、发表年份、国家、研究设计、参与者、确定的职业危险因素、结果变量和主要结果的数据。采用纽卡斯尔-渥太华质量评估量表指南来估计质量得分。总体而言，我们的检索共产生了16篇适合综述的文章。研究中确定的职业危险因素包括剧烈的体力需求和活动、长时间坐着、职业压力、轮班工作、工作时上厕所受限以及其他职业环境（例如，工作场所不干净且不舒服、危险工作和事故可能性、感到时间紧迫以及长时间处于尴尬姿势）。本综述的结果可能会提高对具有这些因素的女性工人发生LUTS风险的认识。从职业健康角度来看，基于这些职业因素实施针对性的预防策略可能会防止女性工人患上LUTS。CRD42022316728。
