Description
Ali Mohammed Alshahrani and co-authors pool data on diabetic eye disease in Saudi Arabia in a 2024 review. The disease, diabetic retinopathy, harms the eye's light-sensing layer and can blind. Saudi Arabia faces a fast-growing diabetes wave. Yet counts of the eye disease there were scattered across small local studies. The team set out to join them into one picture.
They searched four databases for studies from 2000 to 2023 on adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Eleven studies passed the screen, with sizes from 99 to over 50,000 people. The pooled share with eye disease came to 31 percent. The review also weighs what drives the risk, such as how long a person has had diabetes.
