Abstract

Coronavirus disease, one of the most disastrous epidemics, has caused a worldwide crisis, and the containment measures applied to decelerate the progression of the pandemic can increase the risk of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Identifying vulnerable groups in this area can lead us to better resource expenditure, and therefore, this systematic review aims to make a comparison between males and females to determine which of the two groups was most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic regarding OCD. Also, a meta-analysis was designed to investigate the prevalence of OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comprehensive search was conducted among three databases (Medline, Scopus, Web of Science) until August 2021 which resulted in 197 articles, and 24 articles met our inclusion criteria. Overall, more than half of the articles stated the role of gender in OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several articles emphasized the role of the female gender, and some others the role of the male gender. The meta-analysis revealed a 41.2% overall prevalence of OCD during the COVID pandemic and 47.1% and 39.1% OCD prevalence for female and male genders respectively. However, the difference between the two genders was not statistically significant. Generally, it seems that females are at greater risk of OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following groups, the female gender may have acted as a risk factor: under-18 years students, hospital staff, and the studies in the Middle East. In none of the categories, male gender was clearly identified as a risk factor.

COVID-19大流行与强迫症:对男性和女性比较的系统回顾。
冠状病毒病是最具灾难性的流行病之一,已经引发了一场全球性危机,为减缓疫情发展而采取的遏制措施可能会增加患强迫症的风险。确定这一领域的弱势群体可以帮助我们更好地使用资源,因此,本系统综述旨在对男性和女性进行比较,以确定哪一个群体受COVID-19大流行的影响最大。此外,还设计了一项荟萃分析,以调查COVID-19大流行期间强迫症的患病率。综合检索三个数据库(Medline、Scopus、Web of Science)至2021年8月,共检索到197篇文章,其中24篇符合我们的纳入标准。总体而言,超过一半的文章阐述了在COVID-19大流行期间性别在强迫症中的作用。有几篇文章强调了女性的作用,还有一些则强调了男性的作用。meta分析显示,COVID大流行期间强迫症的总体患病率为41.2%,女性和男性的强迫症患病率分别为47.1%和39.1%。然而,两性之间的差异没有统计学意义。一般来说,在COVID-19大流行期间,女性患强迫症的风险似乎更大。在以下群体中,女性可能是一个风险因素:18岁以下的学生、医院工作人员和中东的研究人员。在所有类别中,男性性别都没有被明确认定为风险因素。
