AIM: To investigate the prevalence and the clinical characteristics of Asian @entity1 with @entity5202 . METHODS: We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed and Web of Science databases for original studies, case series, and individual case reports of @entity5202 in Asian countries published from January 1980 to January 2015. We found 66 and 80 articles in the PubMed and Web of Science databases, respectively; 24 duplicate articles were removed. After excluding animal studies, articles not written in English, and meeting abstracts, 25 articles containing 217 @entity1 were selected for analysis. RESULTS: Sample size-weighted mean values were determined for all pooled prevalence data and clinical characteristics. The mean age of the adult @entity1 with @entity5202 was approximately 50 years, and 73% of these @entity1 were male. They frequently presented with @entity56 including @entity565 , @entity2023 , @entity5419 , and @entity483 . @entity565 was the most frequent comorbid @entity56 , occurring in 24% of @entity1 with @entity5202 . @entity1282 was the primary symptom reported; 44% of the @entity1 complained of @entity1282 . Although laboratory blood tests are not adequately sensitive for an accurate diagnosis of @entity5202 , endoscopic examinations revealed abnormal findings typical of this disease, including longitudinal furrows and concentric rings, in 82% of the cases. One-third of the cases responded to proton pump inhibitor administration. CONCLUSION: The characteristics of @entity5202 in Asian @entity1 were similar to those reported in Western @entity1 , indicating that this disease displays a similar pathogenesis between Western and Asian @entity1 .
