Prevalence of Vision Loss in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2020: Magnitude and Temporal Trends.
Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of vision loss for 2020 in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and analyse evolving trends since 1990.
Methods: A meta-analysis using hierarchical models of 37 sources of 33 cross-sectional, population-representative studies from LAC from 1998 to 2018 was undertaken to determine the prevalence of blindness, moderate and severe vision impairment (MSVI), and mild vision impairment (mild VI), with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs).
Results: In 2020, the age-standardised prevalence rates of blindness, MSVI, moderate vision impairment (VI), severe VI, and mild VI, were 0.51% (95% UI 0.44%-0.57%), 3.73% (95% UI 3.38%-4.08%), 3.35% (95% UI 3.00%-3.69%), 0.38% (95% UI 0.34%-0.43%), and 3.19% (95% UI 2.87%-3.53%), respectively. In 1990, there were 15.81 million people with blindness and MSVI in LAC, contributing to 8.66% of the global caseload. In 2020, there were 30.42 million people, including 3.82 million (95% UI 3.14-4.55 million) with blindness and 26.6 million (95% UI 23.08-30.3 million) with MSVI, who contributed to 8.99% of the global caseload.
Conclusion: The contribution of vision loss to the overall global burden from LAC has increased over the last 3 decades, and the numbers of people affected with blindness and VI reported throughout the region have also steadily increased. There needs to be greater attention to providing universal eye health coverage across the region.
期刊介绍:
Ophthalmic Epidemiology is dedicated to the publication of original research into eye and vision health in the fields of epidemiology, public health and the prevention of blindness. Ophthalmic Epidemiology publishes editorials, original research reports, systematic reviews and meta-analysis articles, brief communications and letters to the editor on all subjects related to ophthalmic epidemiology. A broad range of topics is suitable, such as: evaluating the risk of ocular diseases, general and specific study designs, screening program implementation and evaluation, eye health care access, delivery and outcomes, therapeutic efficacy or effectiveness, disease prognosis and quality of life, cost-benefit analysis, biostatistical theory and risk factor analysis. We are looking to expand our engagement with reports of international interest, including those regarding problems affecting developing countries, although reports from all over the world potentially are suitable. Clinical case reports, small case series (not enough for a cohort analysis) articles and animal research reports are not appropriate for this journal.
