purpose. Determine causes of blindness and visual impairment among adults aged ≥40 years. methods. Multistage, stratified, cluster random sampling with probability proportional to size procedures were used identify a nationally representative sample 15,027 persons years age. Distance vision was measured reduced logMAR tumbling E-chart. Clinical examination included basic eye all subjects more detailed those who had presenting <6/12 in either eye. Cause for loss assigned any results. Of the...
<h3>Background/aims</h3> To estimate the prevalence of blindness, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Taif, Saudi Arabia using Rapid Assessment Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) framework. <h3>Methods</h3> 66 clusters 50 people aged ≥50 years were randomly selected. Participants underwent visual acuity measurement examination by an ophthalmologist. DR among participants (previous diagnosis and/or random blood glucose >200 mg/dl) was assessed through dilated fundus ophthalmologist a direct...
BackgroundCataract is the leading cause of blindness globally. Effective cataract surgical coverage (eCSC) measures number people in a population who have been operated on for cataract, and had good outcome, as proportion all or requiring surgery. Therefore, eCSC describes service access (ie, coverage, [CSC]) adjusted quality. The 74th World Health Assembly endorsed global target 30-percentage point increase by 2030. To enable monitoring progress towards this target, we analysed Rapid...
<h3>AIMS</h3> A population based cross sectional survey was conducted to determine the magnitude of cataract blindness and barriers uptake services in a rural community northern Nigeria. <h3>METHODS</h3> 1461 people out 1924 registered eligible were examined. The study chosen by two stage cluster random sampling. In first sampling 15 villages randomly while final 170 who 40 years over selected each village. Each person had visual acuity recorded for both eyes. Those with vision less than...
Purpose To estimate the prevalence of blindness, visual impairment, diabetes, and diabetic retinopathy in north Jordan (Irbid) using rapid assessment avoidable blindness methodology. Methods A multistage cluster random sampling technique was used to select participants for this survey. total 108 clusters were selected probability proportional size method while subjects within compact segment method. Survey teams moved from house segments examining residents 50 years older until 35 recruited....
To describe the rational for, and methods that will be employed to develop, WHO package of eye care interventions (PECI).The development conducted in four steps: (1) selection conditions (for which included package) based on epidemiological data causes vision impairment blindness, prevalence estimates health facility data; (2) identification related evidence for selected from clinical practice guidelines high-quality systematic reviews by a technical working group; (3) expert agreement...
Despite having the largest population in Africa, Nigeria has no accurate based data to plan and evaluate eye care services. A national survey was undertaken estimate prevalence determine major causes of blindness low vision. This paper presents detailed methodology used during survey.A nationally representative sample persons aged 40 years above selected. Children 10-15 individuals <10 or 16-39 with visual impairment were also included if they lived households an eligible adult. All...
Purpose.: Investigate prevalence and risk factors for lens opacities among a nationally representative sample of Nigerians aged ≥40 years. Methods.: Across 305 clusters, 13,591 adults were examined. Every seventh participant (n = 1722) was sampled systematically examined in detail, including opacity grading. Lenses at the slit-lamp with pupil dilation graded using World Health Organization (WHO) system. Significant defined as nuclear, cortical, or posterior subcapsular WHO grade >1,...
AbstractAIMS. A population-based cross-sectional survey for trachoma prevalence was conducted in a subdistrict of northern Nigeria. The objectives the were to determine magnitude and pattern barriers uptake lid surgery area. METHODS. total 2903 people all ages examined out 3715 registered eligible persons. study population chosen by two-stage cluster random sampling technique. Each person signs trachoma. World Health Organization (WHO) simplified grading used. Persons with trichiasis that...
The distribution of trachoma in Nigeria is spatially heterogeneous, with large-scale trends observed across the country and more local variation within areas. Relative contributions individual cluster-level risk factors to geographic disease remain largely unknown. primary aim this analysis assess relationship between climatic trachomatous trichiasis (TT) and/or corneal opacity (CO) due Nigeria, while accounting for effects spatial correlation. In addition, we explore relative importance...
To generate data on blindness and visual impairment for planning monitoring a comprehensive eye care programme in Katsina state of Nigeria.A rapid assessment avoidable (RAAB) survey methodology was used to select 3120 persons aged 50 years over. The sample selected using multistage cluster randomised sampling. Each participant had acuity lens assessment. Persons with vision less than 6/12 any were assessed the cause impairment. cataract asked why they not surgery. Data captured...
Abstract Background This study investigates the economic impacts of eye care interventions on quality life in Katsina state. Eye intervention is a requirement for equitable and inclusive development Methods The used survey method 5‐point Likert scale questionnaire to collect data. A multistage sampling strategy was employed select 300 beneficiaries from existing Noor Dubai Foundation (NDF) interventions. Results findings show that cataract surgery improve benefits results productivity,...
PURPOSE. To assess the usefulness of Trachoma Rapid Assessment (RA) in priority ranking trachoma areas. METHODS. RA was conducted concurrently with a cross-sectional prevalence survey some villages selected from communities at risk for Kaita Local Government Area northern Nigeria. The team consisted two ophthalmic nurses. Pen torches and loupes were used examination. Data collected on seven components 'information pyramid' all villages. data analyzed using methodology guidelines to determine...
