Abstract | This meta-analysis aims to investigate demographic disparities in monkeypox (mpox) infections among various groups based on ethnicity, sexual partners, and gender. The study includes data from 2,646 to 4,002 patients across various outcomes. Among racial demographics, black populations show a lower odds ratio for mpox compared to white populations (OR=0.08 [0.01, 0.45], 95% CI, p=0.004). However, no statistically significant difference is found when comparing black populations with Hispanic or Asian populations (OR=0.72 [0.46, 1.11], p=0.13). There was a substantial disparity between gay, bisexual and other men-who-have-sex-with-men (GBMSM) and heterosexual populations, with significantly higher odds of mpox among the former (OR=393.80, 95% CI: [82.45, 180.85], p<0.00001). Analysis of sexual partners indicates a significant difference in infection risk between individuals with zero to one sexual partner and those with more than two partners (OR=0.06 [0.01, 0.28], p=0.0005). Additionally, there is a substantial difference in infection risk between male and female populations (OR=3868.02, p<0.00001). These findings emphasize the importance of considering demographic factors in understanding mpox transmission and risk profiles. Targeted research and intervention strategies are required to address the identified disparities and mitigate the spread of mpox. |
