Abstract

Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most prevalent disorders affecting gastrointestinal tract with a wide range of frequency around the world. In this study, we aimed to review all of the published studies about GERD's prevalence in Iran systematically. Methods: We searched bibliographic databases including PubMed and Google Scholar and local databases (Scientific Information Database and Iran Medex) to ach ieve all articles relevant to our subject and included them based on predefined inclusion criteria. Results: Twenty-two articles were included in the study in order to estimate the prevalence of GERD in Iran. Based on these articles, the prevalence of GERD in Iran was within the range of 1.9 to 52%. Conclusion: Due to the differences between studies, such as characteristics of the sampled population and the diagnostic criteria, the reported prevalence of GERD in varied remarkably in the studies reviewed. Nonetheless, because of the high prevalence of GERD in Iran, conducting large-scale epidemiological studies to determine factors associated with the prevalence of GERD should be considered in order to prevent and control this disease.
