Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To map the current evidence about the health concerns and the potential solutions related to the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.
METHODS: A scoping review was applied. Papers published in English between 2012 and 2023 were included but non-human research and sources without any related data were excluded. Data charting and extraction were used to map the current evidence.
RESULTS: The total of 36 papers were included with the total number of pilgrims of 17,075,887. The majority of studies were published in the Asia Pacific region (36.11%) as original articles (88.89%). The health concerns were grouped into five main aspects. There were 7603 deaths recorded or about 44 incidences of deaths per 100,000 pilgrims during the pilgrimage. There were recorded 11,018; 6178; 3393; and 17,810 cases for communicable diseases; non-communicable diseases; injuries and trauma; and health services (i.e., cardiac catheterization) and vaccination, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Relating to the five health concerns, this study identified the top seven issues in each category (i.e., hypertension, influenza vaccination), except for the death record. Moreover, there were three solutions (for general health, non- and communicable-diseases) presented. Stakeholders could use this evidence to improve healthcare quality particularly related to the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.

摘要：
目的：绘制有关健康问题的当前证据以及与伊斯兰麦加朝圣有关的潜在解决方案。
方法：应用范围审查。包括2012年至2023年之间以英语发表的论文，但排除了没有任何相关数据的非人类研究和来源。数据图表和提取用于绘制当前证据。
结果：共包括36篇论文，朝圣者总数为17,075,887。大多数研究发表在亚太地区（36.11％）为原创文章（88.89％）。健康问题分为五个主要方面。朝圣期间记录了7603例死亡，每100,000名朝圣者中约有44例死亡。记录了11,018例；6178例；3393例；以及17,810例传染病；非传染性疾病；伤害和创伤；和保健服务(即心脏导管插入术）和疫苗接种，分别。
结论：关于五个健康问题，这项研究确定了每个类别中排名前七个的问题(即，高血压,流感疫苗接种)，除了死亡记录.此外，有三种解决方案(对于一般健康，非传染病)。利益相关者可以利用这一证据来提高医疗保健质量，特别是与一年一度的伊斯兰麦加朝圣有关。
