To study the patterns of uveitis in various geographic regions.
A systematic literature review was performed using the MEDLINE database, from 1966 to present. Studies that satisfied our described selection criteria were analyzed to provide a global perspective on uveitis.
Twenty-two studies, which were the best available representatives of Australia, North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, were included in the final analysis. The distribution of uveitis cases according to the anatomical site of inflammation in the various regions, and the causes and clinical disease associations of anterior, intermediate, posterior, and pan-uveitis were studied for each of the regions and a comparative analysis was performed.
There are similarities and distinct differences in the patterns of uveitis in the various geographic regions. Such patterns of uveitis are influenced by combinations of geographical, environmental, and genetic factors.
研究不同地理区域葡萄膜炎的发病模式。
使用MEDLINE数据库进行系统文献综述,时间跨度为1966年至今。对符合我们所描述选择标准的研究进行分析,以提供关于葡萄膜炎的全球视角。
最终分析纳入了22项研究,这些研究分别是澳大利亚、南北美洲、欧洲、亚洲和非洲最具代表性的研究。针对各个区域,研究了葡萄膜炎病例根据炎症解剖部位的分布情况,以及前葡萄膜炎、中间葡萄膜炎、后葡萄膜炎和全葡萄膜炎的病因及临床疾病关联,并进行了对比分析。
不同地理区域葡萄膜炎的发病模式存在相似性和明显差异。这种葡萄膜炎发病模式受地理、环境和遗传因素组合的影响。
