What is Global, Regional, and National Burdens of Blindness and Vision Loss in Children and Adolescents from 1990 to 2019 about?

Purpose To provide estimates for regional and national burdens of blindness and vision loss among children and adolescents between 1990 and 2019 by disease, age, and sociodemographic index (SDI). Design This was a retrospective demographic analysis based on aggregated data. Methods This was a population-based study using 1990–2019 data on the burden of vision loss and blindness from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. The burden of vision loss and blindness was evaluated in terms of case numbers, rates per 100 000 population, and average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) in prevalence rates and years lived with disability (YLDs). Results Globally, the rates of blindness and vision loss per 100 000 population decreased in all age groups between 1990 and 2019, with prevalence rates decreasing from 1091.4 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 895.2–1326.1) to 1036.9 (95% UI, 847.8–1265.9, AAPC, –0.2) and YLDs decreasing from 44.5 (95% UI, 28.1–66.5) to 40.2 (95% UI, 25.1–60.7, AAPC, –0.4). Most of these reductions in prevalence rates (AAPC, –0.2, 95% confidence interval [CI], –0.2 to –0.1) and YLDs (AAPC, –0.2, 95% CI, –0.3 to –0.2) were due to decrea
