Abstract

Purpose: Although studies have suggested that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak increased myopia progression, they had different settings and analysis methods. This study compared myopia progression before and during the COVID-19 outbreak using meta-analysis.

Methods: Relevant literature was searched on EMBASE, PubMed, ClinEpiDB and Web of Science and reviewed until 8 October 2021. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of the original studies. The mean difference of change in spherical equivalent refraction (SER) was used for evaluation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results: The meta-analysis included eight studies with 773, 797 individuals aged 5-18 years. Pooled analysis indicated that the mean difference of annual myopia progression during the pandemic was 0.41 D higher (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35-0.48, p < 0.01) than before the pandemic. Subgroup analysis using cycloplegic (mean difference, 0.30 D; 95% CI, 0.22-0.38; p < 0.01) or noncycloplegic refraction (mean difference, 0.60 D; 95% CI, 0.27-0.93; p < 0.01) indicated that the mean difference of annual myopia progression during COVID-19 significantly increased in both refractive measurements.

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated myopic progression compared to the past. Government policies are urgently required to prevent and control myopia progression.

2019冠状病毒病爆发和相关公共卫生措施增加儿童和青少年近视的进展:证据综合
目的:虽然有研究表明2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的爆发促进了近视的进展,但它们的背景和分析方法不同。本研究使用荟萃分析比较了COVID-19爆发前和爆发期间的近视进展。方法:检索EMBASE、PubMed、ClinEpiDB和Web of Science相关文献,检索至2021年10月8日。纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表用于评价原始研究的质量。采用球等效折射(SER)变化的平均差值在COVID-19大流行前和期间进行评估。结果:荟萃分析包括8项研究,涉及773,797名5-18岁的个体。合并分析显示,大流行期间每年近视进展的平均差异为0.41 D(95%可信区间[CI]: 0.35-0.48, p)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,与过去相比,新冠肺炎大流行加速了近视进展。预防和控制近视的发展迫切需要政府的政策。
