Prevalence of Glaucoma and Its Bayesian Risk Estimation Model Using Common Determinants in the Adult Population of Hail Region, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesGlaucoma is a global health concern, with an anticipated rise from 64.5 million cases in 2014 to 112 million by 2040. In Saudi Arabia, it contributes to 5.7% of visual impairment cases. Early detection through routine eye exams is crucial, as glaucoma often progresses asymptomatically, leading to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of glaucoma in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia.
methodsFor this cross-sectional study, a sample of 200 participants underwent demographic assessment, and a Bayesian Risk Estimation Model was employed to analyze determinants such as age, gender, education, and comorbidities.
resultsThe cross-sectional study in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia involving 9407 outpatients revealed a glaucoma prevalence of 2.1%, with key factors influencing glaucoma risk identified, including age (60-69 years with a 43.38% chance), illiteracy (22.58% chance), and comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (16.10% chance) and cataract (15.40% chance).
conclusionsIn conclusion, the study in the Hail region highlights a 2.1% prevalence of glaucoma, emphasizing the significant impact of age, education, and comorbidities on glaucoma risk. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions for at-risk populations to enhance glaucoma management and prevention efforts.
