PubMed: There is no MeSH entry for the "Arab World" in PubMed. Thus this term does not capture publications from all Arab countries. However, there are entries for the "Middle East" and "North Africa" but these may not capture countries such as Comoros and Mauritania. Consider working with your librarian to design a search strategy to fit your needs.
