International incidence and temporal trends for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: A systematic review and meta-analysis

We set out to estimate the international incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and to evaluate its temporal trend over time. There is a lack of robust estimates on the worldwide incidence and trend for RRD, a major cause of acute vision loss. We conducted a systematic review of RRD incidence. The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Thomson Reuters ’ Web of Science were searched from inception through 2nd June 2022. Random-effects meta-analysis model with logit transformation was performed to obtain pooled annual incidence estimates of RRD.
