This review aimed to systematically evaluate the association between welding fume exposure and risk of bladder cancer through a meta\u2010analysis of observational studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Eligible studies were identified based on predefined criteria. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random\u2010effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed based on study design, publication year, geographic region, sex, and exposure assessment methods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 34 epidemiological studies were included. The pooled analysis revealed a 20% increased risk of bladder cancer among welders (OR\u2009=\u20091.20, 95% CI: 1.11\u20131.30). This association remained statistically significant in analyses restricted to studies that adjusted for both age and smoking. Subgroup analyses indicated variation by publication period, geographic region, and exposure assessment method. Sensitivity analyses restricted to high\u2010quality studies confirmed the robustness of the findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Welding fume exposure is associated with an elevated risk of bladder cancer.
