Relationship between diabetes mellitus and cataract in Hungary.

Aim: To examine the coexistence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and cataract in Hungary. The effects of DM on the cataract surgical results were also in the focus of analysis.

Methods: Statistical data analysis of the results of the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness with Diabetic Retinopathy (RAAB+DR) module conducted in Hungary in 2015.

Cataract blindness in Hungary.

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment resulting from cataract in the population aged ≥50y in Hungary, and to assess the cataract surgical services.

Methods: A rapid assessment of avoidable blindness (RAAB) was conducted. A total of 3523 eligible people were randomly selected and examined.

Feasibility of the rapid assessment of avoidable blindness with diabetic retinopathy module (RAAB+DR) in industrialised countries: challenges and lessons learned in Hungary.

Purpose: To present experiences gained during the planning, implementation, and practical performance of the rapid assessment of avoidable blindness with diabetic retinopathy module (RAAB+DR) in an established market economy.

Methods: A total of 3523 people aged 50 years or older were examined at their homes in 105 randomly selected clusters in Hungary. During the 4-month-long field work, five teams visited the clusters.

Visual impairment and blindness in Hungary.

Aim: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and causes of blindness, severe visual impairment (SVI), moderate visual impairment (MVI), and early visual impairment (EVI) and its causes in an established market economy of Europe.

Design: A cross-sectional population-based survey.

Methods: A sample size of 3675 was calculated using the standard Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) software in Hungary.

[Regional disparities in the prevalence of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy in Hungary in people aged 50 years and older].

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the main causes of blindness among persons aged 50 years and older.

Aim: The purpose of our survey was to estimate the prevalence of DM and diabetic retinopathy (DR), as well as to assess the coverage of diabetic eye care services in different regions of Hungary.

Method: In 105 clusters, 3675 people aged 50 years and older were included in the survey.

Background/aims: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the population aged 50 years and older in Hungary, and to assess the coverage of diabetic eye care services.

Methods: In total, 105 clusters of 35 people aged 50 years or older were randomly selected. The standardised rapid assessment of avoidable blindness (RAAB) with the diabetic retinopathy module (DRM) was used.
