Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To determine cataract surgical rate (CSR) in 2012 (01 January to 31 December 2012) in 22 Governorates of Yemen in order to identify the needs to reduce cataract related blindness.

METHODS

A standardized questionnaire was sent to the 184 eye units in governmental, university, military, private and charity clinics and hospitals in Yemen.

RESULTS

The response rate to the questionnaire was 80.7%, and the collected data are summarized. During the 12-month period, a total of 62,577 cataract surgeries were performed by 268 ophthalmology specialists and residents. The cataract surgical rate was 2473 cataract operations per million inhabitants per year. Intraocular lens implantation was performed on 98% of the cases.

CONCLUSION

CSR has increased in Yemen in the recent years but is still below the target suggested by WHO. There is need to increase the cataract surgical rate in Yemen mainly in rural areas. Inadequate number of eye surgeons, limited accessibility of cataract surgical services in rural areas and the affordability of surgery to large sections of society are major constraints that have to be addressed. The information from this study will help and enable Ministry of Health and other eye care providers to more equitably disperse trained ophthalmic personnel and eye units in Yemeni governorates.

摘要

目的

确定2012年（2012年1月1日至12月31日）也门22个省的白内障手术率（CSR），以明确降低白内障相关失明的需求。

方法

向也门政府、大学、军队、私立及慈善诊所和医院的184个眼科单位发送标准化问卷。

结果

问卷回复率为80.7%，所收集数据已汇总。在这12个月期间，268名眼科专家和住院医生共进行了62577例白内障手术。白内障手术率为每年每百万居民2473例白内障手术。98%的病例进行了人工晶状体植入。

结论

近年来也门的白内障手术率有所提高，但仍低于世界卫生组织建议的目标。也门需要提高白内障手术率，主要是在农村地区。眼科医生数量不足、农村地区白内障手术服务可及性有限以及社会大部分人群负担不起手术费用是必须解决的主要制约因素。本研究所得信息将有助于并使也门卫生部及其他眼保健服务提供者能够更公平地在也门各省分配训练有素的眼科人员和眼科单位。
