Abstract

BackgroundPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare multisystem genetic disease caused by dysfunctional motile cilia. Despite PCD being the second most common inherited airway disease after cystic fibrosis, PCD continues to be under-recognised globally owing to nonspecific clinical features and the lack of a gold standard diagnostic test. Commonly repeated prevalence estimates range from one in 10 000 to one in 20 000, based on regional epidemiological studies with known limitations. The purpose of this scoping review was to appraise the PCD literature, to determine the best available global PCD prevalence estimate and to inform the reader about the potential unmet health service needs in PCD. The primary objective of the present study was to systematically review the literature about PCD prevalence estimates.MethodsA scoping review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) methodology. Included studies estimated PCD prevalence and used cohort, clinical or genomic data. Case reports, conference abstracts, review articles, animal studies or non-English articles were excluded.ResultsA literature review identified 3484 unique abstracts; 34 underwent full-text review and eight met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Seven articles were based on epidemiological studies of specific geographical regions and provided prevalence estimates that ranged from approximately one to 44.1 in 100 000. Only one study estimated global prevalence, using two large genomic databases, and calculated it to be ∼13.2 in 100 000 (based on pathogenic variants in 29 disease-causing genes).ConclusionsA population-based genomic approach for estimating global prevalence has found that PCD is much more prevalent than previously cited in the literature. This highlights the potential unmet health service needs of people living with PCD.
