“…Of the 6 diagnostic criteria reported in the studies, we found that there is a lower prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in T2DM when using the L' Esperance diagnostic criterion (6.0%; 95% CI: 2.8 to 11.1). This could be because it is the oldest compared to the other criteria used and it uses different assessments for diagnosis [78], likewise, only one study reported this diagnostic criterion and had an inadequate sample as reported in the risk of bias. On the other hand, only 1 study reported the prevalence with SDRGS (17.3%; 95% CI: 15.2 to 19.5), which showed an equally low prevalence, this could be due to the fact that it was a study with patients attending primary care, being those who attend mostly people with health problems.…”

Objectives This systematic review aimed to assess the prevalence and incidence of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes of Latin America and the Caribbean. Methods We searched Web of Science (WoS)/Core Collection, WoS/MEDLINE, WoS/Scielo, Scopus, PubMed/Medline and Embase databases until January 16, 2023. We meta-analyzed prevalences according to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Results Forty-three prevalence studies (47 585 participants) and one incidence study (436 participants) were included. The overall prevalence of retinopathy in patients with T1DM was 40.6% (95% CI: 34.7 to 46.6; I2: 92.1%) and in T2DM was 37.3% (95% CI: 31.0 to 43.8; I2: 97.7), but the evidence is very uncertain (very low certainty of evidence). In meta-regression, we found that age (T1DM) and time in diabetes (T2DM) were factors associated with the prevalence. On the other hand, one study found a cumulative incidence of diabetic retinopathy of 39.6% at 9 years of follow-up. Conclusions Two out of five patients with T1DM or T2DM may present diabetic retinopathy in Latin America and the Caribbean, but the evidence is very uncertain. This is a major public health problem, and policies and strategies for early detection and opportunely treatment should be proposed.
