This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence of FGTB among infertile women and its contribution to primary and secondary infertility. PubMed, MEDLINE\u00ae, WorldCat, The Lens, direct Google search, Google Scholar and ResearchGate were searched from 1971 to July 17, 2021 using the following terms: \u201cprevalence\u201d, \u201cepidemiology\u201d, \u201curogenital tuberculosis\u201d, \u201cFGTB\u201d, \u201cinfertile women\u201d, \u201cinfertility complaints\u201d and \u201cFGTB testing methods\u201d. Data were extracted and a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 42 studies were selected with a total of 30,918 infertile women. Of these, the pooled prevalence of FGTB was 20% (95% confidence interval: 15\u201325%, I2 = 99.94%) and the prevalence of overall infertility, primary infertility and secondary infertility among FGTB population were 88%, 66% and 34%, respectively. The proportion of FGTB is remarkable among infertile women globally. The biggest burden of the disease is present in low-income countries followed by lower-to-middle- and upper-to-middle-income countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18295\/squmj.1.2022.003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]],"date-time":"2022-01-23T04:12:16Z","timestamp":1642911136000},"page":"314-324","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Female Genital Tuberculosis Among Infertile Women and Its Contributions to Primary and Secondary Infertility: &lt;i&gt;A systematic review and meta-analysis&lt;\/i&gt;"],"prefix":"10.18295","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Musa AE","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Reproductive Health Sciences, Pan African University Life and Earth Sciences Institute (PAULESI), Ibadan, Nigeria; Department of Veterinary Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Al-Salam University, West Kordofan, Sudan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah AA","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Reproductive Health Sciences, Pan African University Life and Earth Sciences Institute (PAULESI), Ibadan, Nigeria; Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, University of Gadarif, Gadarif, Sudan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abiodun O","family":"Ilesanmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher O","family":"Aimakhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amel O","family":"Bakhiet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and The Scientific Research Deanship, College of Veterinary Medicine, Sudan University of Science and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suad BM","family":"Hamad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Health & Diseases Control, Ministry of Animal Recourses & Fishers, South Kordofan, Sudan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7681","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]]},"container-title":["Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.squ.edu.om\/index.php\/squmj\/article\/download\/4822\/3368","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.squ.edu.om\/index.php\/squmj\/article\/download\/4822\/3368","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,11,3]],"date-time":"2026-11-03T09:40:19Z","timestamp":1793698819000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/mjournal.squ.edu.om\/home\/vol22\/iss3\/2"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18295\/squmj.1.2022.003","relation":{},"ISSN":["2075-0528"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2075-0528","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]]}}}
