Background and objective: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women is a common condition that affects middle-aged and elderly women. Currently, there are still many limitations in the epidemiological research on SUI. This study aims to address the gap in the prevalence of female SUI in mainland China and provide theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of SUI. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on the prevalence of female SUI in mainland China, systematically searching Chinese and English databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and Weipu Database as of April 1, 2024. Detailed criteria for screening and exclusion were established. The prevalence of SUI in the selected studies was synthesized using Stata MP (version 15) software, and a multisubgroup analysis, a sensitivity analysis, and publication bias detection of the prevalence of SUI were also performed using the software. Additionally, ArcGIS software (version 10.8) and Geoda software (version 1.2) were utilized to explore the geographical distribution characteristics of the prevalence of female SUI in mainland China. Key findings and limitations: A total of 688 articles were screened, and finally 85 articles were included. The overall rate of female SUI in mainland China was 24.5% (95% confidence interval: 22.5–26.5%). The heterogeneity of the study is statistically significant (I2 = 99.0%, p |
