Abstract
PURPOSE: To examine the prevalence and incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in Europe. METHODS: A systematic review of the prevalence and incidence of RRD in Europe according to the meta-analyses of observational studies in epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines was performed using the databases PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science followed by a meta-analysis of incidence data. RESULTS: 658 studies were identified, 76 full-text articles were assessed, and 5 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. Random-effects pooled mean annual incidence of RRD in Europe was 13.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (95% CI: 11.3-15.6) based on the examination of 95,765 individuals from the 5 incidence studies. No European studies reporting prevalence of retinal detachment were identified. CONCLUSION: Published articles on the prevalence and incidence of RRD in Europe are limited. Further epidemiological research is needed for adequate healthcare planning.
