Specific SDs included in each category as per ICSD-3 are presented in Table S3. We excluded studies on medical science students (nursing, pharmacy, dentistry) unless specified as medical students studying for their Medical Degree (MD or MBBS). Prevalence data on mixed disorder levels, mixed sex, and/or mixed training periods were pooled in a separate group. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the impact of SD prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on the pooled estimates when applicable. Factors associated with SDs among MENA medical students (secondary outcome) were synthesized as reported in the included studies.
