“…2). This is in keeping with other published studies [3, 10-13, 33, 34, 36]. Rogers et al [32] compiled prevalence data on RVO from 15 studies including 68,751 individuals from the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and incidence of retinal vein occlusions (RVO) in Europe. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence and incidence of RVO in Europe according to the Meta-Analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines was performed in the databases PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Based on Eurostat data, the total number of affected individuals in the EU was calculated and projected to the year 2050. Results: The random-effects pooled prevalence of RVO in Europe was 0.7% (95% CI: 0.5–0.9%) in persons aged 55 years and older based on the examination of 25,002 individuals from 4 prevalence studies. No European incidence studies were identified. The total number of affected individuals in the EU was estimated to rise by almost 20% from 900,000 today to 1.1 million in 2050. Conclusion: Published articles on the prevalence and incidence of RVO in Europe are limited. With the expected increase in affected persons, further epidemiological research is warranted for adequate healthcare planning.

“…Accordingly, we searched the previous literature for epidemiologic studies and found many reporting the lack of an association between DM and RVO. 11,13,48,49 One study even reported DM to be a protective factor. 19 The association between DM and RVO could be weak, but considering that diabetes is the cause of many cardiovascular diseases, more research is necessary to clarify this.…”

“…The literature supports the relationship of age and hypertension to RVO most consistently however has also implicated other traditional and non‐traditional risk factors including diabetes mellitus, body fatness indices, smoking, dyslipidaemia, thrombophilia and prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease states . There also appear to be different risk factor profiles between the various phenotypes of vein occlusion .…”

Computerized retinal imaging technologies enable the static and dynamic measurement of a range of retinal microvascular parameters. Large population-based studies have reported associations between these microvascular indices and various ophthalmic diseases including diabetes, age-related macular degeneration, retinal artery embolism, retinal vein occlusion, glaucoma and non-glaucomatous optic neuropathies. Increasingly, sophisticated imaging and analysis techniques have the potential to provide relevant clinical information regarding disease risk and progression; however, further studies are required to verify associations and strengthen the predictive power of these techniques. We summarize the current state of knowledge regarding retinal microvascular characteristics and eye disease.

Retinal Vein Occlusion in a Multi-Ethnic Asian Population: The Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Disease Study

Abstract: RVO was detected in 0.72% of a multi-ethnic Asian population aged 40-80 years in Singapore. The significant systemic risk factors of RVO are consistent with studies in white populations.
