چکیده
conclusions our results showed that hcv genotype 4 is the most prevalent genotype in the middle east region. however, hcv genotype 1 is the most prevalent among non-arab countries in the region including turkey, iran, cyprus, and israel. context the hepatitis c virus (hcv) is classified into seven genotypes and more than 100 subtypes. the treatment regimen, duration and efficacy of hcv therapy may vary according to the hcv genotype. therefore, the hcv genotype should be determined prior to antiviral therapy. the objective of the current study was to review systematically all studies reporting the distribution of hcv genotypes in the countries that make up the middle east. evidence acquisition articles were identified by searching electronic databases, including scopus, pubmed and google scholar, with timeline limits (articles published between 1995 and 2016). we carried out a systematic search regarding the distribution of hcv genotypes in middle eastern countries. results a total of 579 studies were identified by the electronic search. of these, a total of 187 were identified as eligible papers including 60,319 patients who were meta-analyzed for pooled distribution of hcv genotypes. in turkey, israel, cyprus, and iran, genotype 1 was the most prevalent hcv genotype with rates of 82% (95% ci, 82%-83%), 68% (95% ci, 67%-69%), 68% (95% ci, 59%-77%), and 55% (95% ci, 54%-55%), respectively. in egypt, iraq, saudi arabia, and syria, hcv genotype 4 was the most common genotype with rates of 86% (95% ci, 85%-88%), 60% (95% ci, 56%-64%), 56% (95% ci, 54%-55%), and 57% (95% ci, 54%-61%), respectively. on the basis of adjusted data, hcv genotype 4 was the most prevalent genotype in the middle east region, with a rate of 74.7% (95% ci, 73.4%-76%), followed by genotype 1 at 15.1% (95% ci, 14.1%-16%).
