• #1 The epidemiology of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: geographical variation and clinical associations | British Journal of Ophthalmology

  https://bjo.bmj.com/content/94/6/678

  Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a potentially blinding condition. Obtaining an accurate estimate of RRD incidence in the population is essential in understanding the healthcare burden related to this disorder. […] RRD incidence demonstrates significant geographical variation and its incidence has been reported to be between 6.3 and 17.9 per 100000 population. […] The overall incidence of RRD is not yet well established: more incidence studies of adequate methodology are needed to explore temporal changes in incidence. RRD incidence varies with ethnicity and is strongly associated with increasing age, myopia and certain vitreo-retinal degenerations.

• #2 Primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: clinical epidemiology and genetic aetiology

  https://era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/8923?show=full

  Primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is one of the most common ophthalmic emergencies. […] Previous assessments of RRD incidence have demonstrated large differences in case definition and methodology, with incidence estimates varying 3-fold geographically and in different time periods. […] To date there have been no systematic or prospective incidence estimates of primary RRD in the U.K. […] In this thesis, I present the findings of the Scottish retinal detachment study that examined the incidence, demographic features, temporal incidence trends, as well as clinical and socio-economic associations of primary RRD in Scotland. […] Results from this study have estimated the annual incidence of primary RRD in Scotland to be 12.05 per 100,000 population. Based on this estimate, there are approximately 7,300 new cases annually in the United Kingdom.

  To investigate the incidence, seasonal variation, and differences among age, sex, and race for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, retinal break (RB) treatment, and posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry. […] Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a vision-threatening condition with an estimated incidence of 10 to 18 per 100 000 population per year in the United States. […] Understanding the relative incidence of these conditions and the timing of RB and RRD after acute PVD may be important to determine clinical surveillance guidelines. […] The estimated incidence of RRD in the United States has been derived from surveys and computer database studies conducted at a local level in Iowa and Minnesota. […] Demographic findings from international studies have shown an association with age, with the highest incidence of RRD being reported in the sixth (5059 years of age) and seventh (6069 years of age) decades of life.

  Aims/BackgroundRhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a potentially blinding condition. Obtaining an accurate estimate of RRD incidence in the population is essential in understanding the healthcare burden related to this disorder.MethodsA systematic review of all population-based epidemiology studies of RRD published between January 1970 and January 2009 from Medline database searches was performed.ResultsRRD incidence demonstrates significant geographical variation and its incidence has been reported to be between 6.3 and 17.9 per 100 000 population. For studies with a sample size >300 the median annual incidence per 100 000 population was 10.5 (IQR 8.1–13.2) and the mean proportion of bilateral RRD was 7.26%. Overall, the mean prevalence of lattice degeneration was 45.7±20.3% and myopia was 47.28±12.59%.ConclusionsEstimates of RRD incidence have varied threefold, but inclusion criteria and other design features have differed across studies making direct comparisons difficult. The overall incidence of RRD is not yet well established: more incidence studies of adequate methodology are needed to explore temporal changes in incidence. RRD incidence varies with ethnicity and is strongly associated with increasing age, myopia and certain vitreo-retinal degenerations. Due to changes in cataract surgery trends, the proportion of pseudophakic RRD presenting to specialised centres appears to be increasing.

  To assess seasonal variations in the incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. […] The annual incidence in the USA is 12/100,000, while studies from Asian and European countries have reported figures of 7-14/100,000. […] Studies investigating relations between RRD and seasonal changes have reported differing findings. […] The purpose of the present study was to investigate seasonal variations and epidemiological characteristics of patients presenting with retinal detachment to a university hospital serving as a reference hospital in the Eastern Black Sea region over an 8-year period. […] The mean annual number of RRDs was 35.135.43 (29-44), and no significant differences were determined in patient numbers according to year (chi-square=5.595, p=0.558).

• #7 The Scottish RD survey 10 years on: the increasing incidence of retinal detachments | Eye

  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41433-022-02123-1

  The Scottish RD Survey reported an incidence of 12.05/100,000/yr in 2009. […] Data published from Denmark recently confirmed a 50% increase in RD presentations over the last 16 years. […] Our study confirms that RRD is becoming more common in the UK, reflecting almost identical findings from Denmark. […] This trend is in part due to increasing myopia, increasing pseudophakia, and possibly other factors. […] Our study shows that the incidence of retinal detachment is increasing in the UK. […] The rising incidence is likely to be caused by increasing cataract surgery, increasing myopia and possibly other undetermined factors. […] This increasing incidence should be considered when planning VR services in the future. […] There is a statistically significant increase in the incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments in Scotland in the last 10 years.

• #8 Incidence and Risk Factors Affecting the Recurrence of Primary Retinal Detachment in a Tertiary Hospital in Spain

  https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/15/4551

  (1) Objective: To determine the incidence, visual outcomes and risk factors associated with the recurrence of primary retinal detachment (RD) in a tertiary hospital. (3) Results: 570 eyes with primary RD were included. Mean annual incidence of primary RD was 21.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. […] The main objective of the study was to identify the incidence of retinal redetachment after primary surgery and potential associated risk factors. […] Over the 4 years of the study, the mean population studied was 652,862 and primary RD surgery was performed in a total of 570 cases, yielding an average annual incidence of 21.8 cases per 100,000 population. […] Recurrences occurred in 28.9% of cases; considering that the mean time to recurrence was 114.42 days, with a median of 35 days, it is important to emphasize the need for close monitoring of the patient during the first 5 weeks. […] The two only independent variables associated with redetachment after logistic regression were male sex and ocular comorbidities.

  In addition, using hospital episode data, the overall age-standardised incidence of RRD in Scotland was shown to be steadily increasing since 1987 with an average annual increase of 1.9%. […] Furthermore, I demonstrate that the risk of having an affected sibling with RRD is increased 2-fold given that one sibling has had the condition, substantiating a genetic component to the pathogenesis of this condition. […] In the final aspect of this thesis I will present the design and analysis of a two stage case-control genome-wide association study examining the role of common genetic variants and selected candidate genes in predisposing to RRD development.

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9559074/

  Our findings support that age is a risk factor for RRD, RB formation, and PVD, consistent with prior studies. […] The incidence within the IRIS Registry of RRD repair was found to peak between 50 and 69 years of age, with an intermediate incidence between 40 to 49 years of age and 70 years of age. […] Our findings showed a clear difference between men and women with regard to incident RRD repair, RB treatment, and PVD. […] Investigating differences in race with respect to RRD repair, RB treatment, and PVD was challenging because of incomplete demographic information. […] Our findings showed that seasonal variations in CS corresponded highly with national holidays. Similarly, RD repair, RB treatment, and PVD were influenced by national holidays, especially in the winter months. […] Most RB treatments and RRD repairs occurred within 6 to 8 weeks of PVD diagnosis, which is consistent with the findings of prior studies that evaluated the timing of these events.

  Based on data from the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcomes Study, patients 80 years and older were more likely to present with macula-off detachments and preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy compared with patients 40 to 79 years old. […] The prevalence of RRD has a bimodal distribution: a peak at young ages (attributed to high myopia and trauma) and a greater peak between 60 and 69 years. […] To better understand the characteristics and treatment outcomes of RRD in elderly patients, our group analyzed data from the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcomes (PRO) study, a large, comprehensive, observational data set from all patients at six centers who underwent primary RRD repair. […] Examining risk factors for preventable and reversible causes of blindness in the elderly provides insight into the delayed and more complex nature of RRD in this population.

  The incidence of RD is approximately 1 in 10000. It can occur at any age, but peaks in people between 60 to 69 years. Males have a slightly higher chance of developing RRD than females. Southeastern Asians may have a higher risk of RRD than Caucasians as they have a higher risk of myopia. […] Myopic patients over -3 dioptres have a 10-fold increased likelihood of developing RDD. The fellow eye also has a higher risk of developing RRD, with 2% to 10% of RRDs being bilateral. The incidence is also higher in patients with a family history of RD. The risk increases by 1% after cataract surgery and 4% following NdYAG capsulotomy. Patients with pre-existing peripheral retinal disease or degeneration, such as lattice degeneration, have a higher risk of developing RRD. All patients with lattice degeneration have a 1% chance of developing RRD. In contrast around 30% of phakic patients have a chance of developing RRD. Other risk factors that may predispose RD are summarised in Table 1.

  Retinal detachment has an annual incidence of 10-15 per 100,000 people. […] Incidence increases with advancing age. […] Lifetime risk is estimated to be 3% at 85 years of age. […] Average age of presentation is 60 years. […] It is unusual in younger people, although traumatic RD is more common in younger patients, particularly men. […] There has been an increase in presentation of much younger individuals, associated with paintball injuries. […] It is more frequent in right eyes and with increasing affluence. […] Men and women are similarly affected. […] After RD the risk of RD in the contralateral eye is around 10%. […] There are an estimated 7,300 new cases in the UK every year. […] There is anecdotal evidence that it is more common in people of Jewish descent and less common in patients of African origin.

• #18 Study Describes Myopia’s Link to Increased Risk of Retinal Detachment in Military Population

  https://www.reviewofoptometry.com/breakingnews/article/study-describes-myopias-link-to-increased-risk-of-retinal-detachment-in-military-population

  Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a serious ocular condition that can significantly and permanently affect vision. Global incidence rates for RRD can range from 7.9 to 26.2 per 100,000 people; however, studies in the general population tend to skew toward older subjects, with an average age of 58.7 years reported in large-scale studies such as the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcome Study. […] A recent study published in Ophthalmic Epidemiology examines the incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) among U.S. military service members with refractive errors. The research, involving over 1.2 million personnel, found that myopia accounted for 93% of RRD cases, with incidence increasing with age. […] The rates between male and female subjects were 16.4 and 15.9 per 100,000, respectively, and RRD incidence increased with age. According to the researchers, male and female service members aged 45 to 64 had an eight-fold increase compared to the youngest category, 18 to 24 years.

  The incidence and risk of RRD vary between study results; one showed 1 in 10,000 individuals, and another showed the annual risk of RRD to be about 6.3 to 17.9 per 100,000 individuals. Males may be at a slightly higher risk than females of getting an RRD. There may be a higher risk of RRD in those of Southeastern Asian descent compared to European White race persons, confounded by the fact that Southeastern Asian populations tended to have a higher risk of myopia and a longer axial length. Results from another study did not find a significant difference in risk factors, postoperative outcomes, and clinical features in patients with retinal detachments between Indian, Malay, and Chinese populations in Singapore.

  Background: The epidemiology of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Asians is not well known. We studied the epidemiologic characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in Kumamoto, Japan. […] From a population of 1 840000, 192 residents developed retinal detachment. The annual incidence was therefore 10.4 per 100000 population (9.6 for males, 11.2 for females). […] Compared with previously published studies from other countries, the incidence of detachments associated with lattice degeneration and macular hole was higher, while the incidences of aphakic detachment and detachment due to blunt trauma were lower in Japan. Racial factors and living habits may affect the development of retinal detachment.

[…] Here we report an incidence rate of 22.44 RRDs per 100,000 person-years in non-myopes, 67.51 RRDs per 100,000 person-years in myopes, and 868.83 RRDs per 100,000 person-years in high-myopes. […] Understanding the epidemiology of RRDs in myopia and high myopia in the United States is critical for eye care providers to better monitor high risk populations.

  As with PVDs, the lifetime risk of RD in myopia is proportional to the axial length and spherical equivalent (SE). The Eye Disease Case Control Study Group found that compared with emmetropes, eyes with an SE of -1.00 D to -3.00 D had a 4-fold increased risk of RD, and eyes with an SE of less than -3.00 D had a 10-fold increased risk of RD. Without surgery, the lifetime risk of RD in high myopia, as defined by Burton as less than -5.00 D, is 20-fold higher than in emmetropia. Ocular surgery may further compound this risk. Although the safety of cataract surgery has dramatically increased since its inception, the risk of RD after surgery for myopes is far greater than for emmetropes. Al Muammar et al found a 7-fold increase in RD in high myopes after cataract surgery as compared to emmetropes.

  Myopia is a known risk factor for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). […] The incidence rate of RRD in phakic patients in the United States was 39-fold higher in high myopes than non-myopes (868.83 per 100,000 person-years versus 22.44 per 100,000 person-years) and three-fold higher in myopes than non-myopes (67.51 per 100,000 person-years versus 22.44 per 100,000 person-years). […] Combined, the incidence rate of RRD in phakic patients in the United States from 2007 to 2016 was 25.27 RRDs per 100,000 person-years, a rate higher than those in prior published studies in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. […] The absolute risk of myopia and high myopia increased from 2007 to 2016. […] The risk of RRD in phakic high myopes rose with increasing age. […] We found a three-fold higher incidence rate of RRDs in myopes as compared to non-myopes and a 39-fold higher incidence rate of RRDs in high myopes as compared to non-myopes.

  Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a serious ocular condition that can significantly and permanently affect vision. One of the most common risk factors for RRD is refractive errors, particularly myopia. Global incidence rates for RRD can range from 7.9 to 26.2 per 100,000 people; however, studies in the general population tend to skew toward older subjects, with an average age of 58.7 years reported in large-scale studies such as the Primary Retinal Detachment Outcome Study. […] Their results revealed an RRD incidence rate of 16.3 per 100,000, which increased with age; and in eyes with detailed refractive data, myopia accounted for 93% of the cases. […] The research, involving over 1.2 million personnel, found that myopia accounted for 93% of RRD cases, with incidence increasing with age.

  The Scottish RD Survey reported an incidence of 12.05/100,000/yr in 2009. […] Data published from Denmark recently confirmed a 50% increase in RD presentations over the last 16 years. […] Our study confirms that RRD is becoming more common in the UK, reflecting almost identical findings from Denmark. […] This trend is in part due to increasing myopia, increasing pseudophakia, and possibly other factors. […] Our study shows that the incidence of retinal detachment is increasing in the UK. […] The rising incidence is likely to be caused by increasing cataract surgery, increasing myopia and possibly other undetermined factors. […] This increasing incidence should be considered when planning VR services in the future. […] There is a statistically significant increase in the incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments in Scotland in the last 10 years.

  By 2050, 1 in 10 people on the planet will be highly myopic. High myopia is defined by the International Myopia Institute as a condition in which the spherical equivalent refractive error of an eye is less than or equal to -6.00 D when ocular accommodation is relaxed. This anticipated 4-fold increase in prevalence of high myopia since 2000 brings with it the many retina sequelae of increased axial elongation, including myopic traction maculopathy (MTM), myopic macular degeneration (MMD), and retinal detachments (RDs). The incidence of RDs is increasing globally, with data from Denmark confirming a 50% increase in RDs over the last 16 years. A study conducted in Scotland among the general population revealed that the increase in RDs was mainly attributed to men aged 50 and above. The same study also found a strong association between myopia and early onset RDs, with myopia diagnosed in 82.1% of phakic RDs in individuals under the age of 50. There are a number of factors that influence the rise of RDs in myopes, including the younger age at onset of PVD, greater axial elongation leading to increased peripheral retinal thinning and peripheral retinal pathology, and the increased perpendicular and tangential tractional forces in the posterior pole of a staphylomatous eye resulting in myopic foveal detachments.

  Although 6% of the general population are thought to have retinal breaks, most of these are asymptomatic benign atrophic holes, which are without accompanying pathology and do not lead to retinal detachment. The annual incidence is approximately one in 10,000 or about 1 in 300 over a lifetime. Other sources suggest that the age-adjusted incidence of idiopathic retinal detachments is approximately 12.5 cases per 100,000 per year, or about 28,000 cases per year in the US. […] Certain groups have higher prevalence than others. Patients with high myopia (6 diopters) and individuals with aphakia (ie, cataract removal without lens implant) have a higher risk. Cataract extraction complicated by vitreous loss during surgery can have an increased detachment rate of up to 10%. […] The most common worldwide etiologic factors associated with retinal detachment are myopia (ie, nearsightedness), aphakia, pseudophakia (ie, cataract removal with lens implant), and trauma. Approximately 40-50% of all patients with detachments have myopia, 30-40% have undergone cataract removal, and 10-20% have encountered direct ocular trauma. Traumatic detachments are more common in young persons, and myopic detachment occurs most commonly in persons aged 25-45 years.

[…] In Denmark, both diagnoses and deaths are registered centrally; therefore, a complete follow-up was achieved in each case and actuarial statistical methods were used in the risk assessment. […] Seven eyes (0.41 %) developed RD and 345 eyes (20.0%) had YAG-laser capsulotomy in the observation period, which averaged 39 months. […] We identified the following risk factors for RD: age less than 70 years at the time of surgery, intraoperative complications, axial length 25 mm. […] One eye (0.29%) developed RD following YAG-laser capsulotomy. […] We concluded that the high risk of RD is concentrated in a small group of myopic patients who have cataract surgery when they are less than 70 years of age.

  The mechanism for heavy occupational lifting serving as a risk factor for RRD has not been demonstrated. […] Ultimately, this study agrees with previous findings on the increased risk of RRD with age and myopia, but researchers say further studies are needed to investigate other risk factors for RRD outside of age, gender and refractive errors.

  We recently reported a case-control study testing the hypothesis that heavy occupational lifting or manual handling (requiring the Valsalva maneuver) may be a risk factor for retinal detachment among people who are myopic (near-sighted). […] Other etiologic studies of retinal detachment, although not restricted to myopic subjects, have provided little information on risk factors among nonmyopic people. […] We therefore did a supplementary analysis of our data to explore how risk factors for retinal detachment vary in nonmyopic subjects compared with near-sighted people. […] The more pronounced age-related risk in nonmyopic cases (4-fold after 65 years) can be attributed to the impact of near-sightedness as a predisposing factor for retinal detachment across the age spectrum. […] Regarding heavy lifting/manual handling, the absence of any clear association (between nonmyopic and myopic cases) with retinal detachment leads us to hypothesize that this factor may increase the risk of retinal detachment regardless of myopia.

  As for BMI, there were signs of a possible dose-response relation, suggesting that obesity might conceivably be an even more prominent risk factor for retinal detachment among nonmyopic people. […] Our observations suggest that the plausible etiologic role of heavy drinking in retinal detachment might be more relevant (or more evident) in nonmyopic people, and underline the need for clarification of the effect of heavy drinking on this and other eye conditions. […] They also highlight the need for analytic studies to evaluate risk factors separately for nonmyopic people especially because retinal detachment often occurs in the absence of myopia.

  Retinal detachments in the setting of high myopia are increasing in prevalence around the world. Vitreoretinal surgeons must measure the axial length prior to surgery to ensure they have adequate reach and must perform a thorough preoperative and intraoperative exam to ensure no breaks are missed. Detachments in the setting of MTM, although historically rare, are likely to increase with the myopia epidemic. They are challenging to repair and may recur as the MTM progresses. Newer surgical techniques, as well as the modification of older techniques, may result in higher surgical success.

  Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a sight threatening condition in which the neurosensory retina separates from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. With an incidence of 6.3 to 17.9 per 100,000 persons (1), RRD is a condition frequently encountered by vitreoretinal specialists. […] Because timely presentation after RRD is crucial to ultimate visual prognosis, it is important to understand the social factors that predict delays in care. […] In a recently published study by Ong et al.

  RRD severity has been found previously to be correlated with lower socioeconomic status (12,13). Severity of detachment is highly related to delay in presentation (14), as the longer the retina is detached, the more likely it is that the detachment progresses to the fovea or that proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) develops.

Cataract-related blindness has been the focus but retinal blindness is still unaddressed. Retinal detachment (RD) is the most common indication for retinal surgery. Traditionally, it has been labelled incurable and community-based efforts for its management have been inadequate. […] Our results highlight the delay associated with management of RD in India. It reflects the deficient state of local services and referral systems, requiring an urgent re-evaluation of our regional services. As the rate of cataract surgery increases, prevalence of RD would increase. Improper diagnosis and late referral will add to the burden of preventable blindness.

  Although 6% of the general population are thought to have retinal breaks, most of these are asymptomatic benign atrophic holes, which are without accompanying pathology and do not lead to retinal detachment. The annual incidence is approximately one in 10,000 or about 1 in 300 over a lifetime. Other sources suggest that the age-adjusted incidence of idiopathic retinal detachments is approximately 12.5 cases per 100,000 per year, or about 28,000 cases per year in the US. […] Certain groups have higher prevalence than others. Patients with high myopia (6 diopters) and individuals with aphakia (ie, cataract removal without lens implant) have a higher risk. Cataract extraction complicated by vitreous loss during surgery can have an increased detachment rate of up to 10%. […] The most common worldwide etiologic factors associated with retinal detachment are myopia (ie, nearsightedness), aphakia, pseudophakia (ie, cataract removal with lens implant), and trauma. Approximately 40-50% of all patients with detachments have myopia, 30-40% have undergone cataract removal, and 10-20% have encountered direct ocular trauma. Traumatic detachments are more common in young persons, and myopic detachment occurs most commonly in persons aged 25-45 years.
