Global Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy in Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes

Key Points Question What is the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in children with type 2 diabetes (T2D)? Findings In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 observational studies including 5924 unique patients with pediatric T2D, 6.99% of participants with T2D had DR; the prevalence increased significantly more than 5 years after T2D diagnosis. The heterogeneity was high across studies. Meaning These results suggest that the increasing risk of DR in children with T2D warrants the implementation of global screening programs at diagnosis and annually to ensure early detection and treatment to preserve vision in this population.
