Time trends and heterogeneity in the disease burden of glaucoma, 1990-2017: a global analysis

To evaluate the disease burden of glaucoma in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and assess the contribution of risk factors to DALY due to glaucoma. Global, regional, and country DALY number, rate, and age-standardized rates of glaucoma were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease St...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the disease burden of glaucoma in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and assess the contribution of risk factors to DALY due to glaucoma. Global, regional, and country DALY number, rate, and age-standardized rates of glaucoma were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 database. The Human Development Index (HDI), Inequality-Adjusted HDI, Socio-Demographic Index (SDI), and other country-level data were derived from international open databases. Regression analysis was used to assess the correlations between the age-standardized DALY rate and the variables. The global DALY due to glaucoma increased by 81% from 1990 to 2017 and decreased by 10% over the last two decades after adjusting for age and population size. Males had higher age-standardized DALY rates (
