Meta AnalysisHypertension as a Risk Factor for Primary Open-angle Glaucoma: A Meta-analysis.
Hypertension (HTN) is not recognised as an independent risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). A search of PubMed, Embase, Medline, Wanfang, and Cochrane Library databases from the time each database was established up to July 2022 was performed. All studies were pooled and assessed for heterogeneity and the quality of the literature. ⋯ A meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies revealed that the incidence of HTN and diabetes was significantly greater among individuals with POAG. HTN and diabetes were found to be independent risk factors for POAG. Key Words: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), Hypertension (HTN), Diabetes, Meta-analysis.
