Abstract

BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder. Due to its high prevalence and absence of curative therapy, IBS has the potential to create tremendous burden on the health care system. OBJECTIVES Herein, we systematically reviewed the published literature to investigate the epidemiology of Irritable bowel syndrome in Iran. METHODS Studies reviewed in this article were primarily identified by searching four online bibliographic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, IranMedex, and Scientific Information Database. Manual search of reference lists from studies with relevant abstracts and also recent reviews was also carried out to identify any additional studies that may have been missed. Potentially related studies were retrieved and the selection criteria applied. Eligible articles were reviewed. RESULTS From the 4176 studies identified, 18 eligible studies were included. In Iran, IBS has a wide reported prevalence range from 1.1% to 25% and is more prevalent in women. There is a minimal difference in IBS prevalence within different age groups. CONCLUSION According to the results, reported prevalence of IBS in Iran has a wide range. Since there are not enough population-based studies, researchers should focus on developing well-designed population-based studies to determine the epidemiology of IBS in Iran. Moreover, cohort studies should be conducted in order to investigate the natural history of IBS. Investigating the etiology of IBS and attempts to plan health promotion programs are highly suggested.
