Using multiple sources, an attempt was made to ascertain all symptomatic cases of retinitis pigmentosa living in the City of Birmingham in June 1978. These methods revealed a prevalence for all ages of 1 in 4869 and a prevalence in the age group 45 to 64 years of 1 in 3195. There was a higher prevalence than expected among young Muslims with consanguineous parents. However, the most accurate prevalence of uncomplicated retinitis pigmentosa among adults was considered to be that found in an outpatient clinic serving adult diabetics, namely, six patients in a clinic population of 8000 to 10 000.
通过多种渠道，我们试图确定1978年6月居住在伯明翰市的所有有症状的色素性视网膜炎病例。这些方法显示，所有年龄段的患病率为1/4869，45至64岁年龄组的患病率为1/3195。在父母为近亲的年轻穆斯林中，患病率高于预期。然而，成年人中单纯性色素性视网膜炎最准确的患病率被认为是在为成年糖尿病患者服务的门诊诊所中发现的，即在8000至10000名诊所患者中有6例。
