概括
来自低收入和中等收入国家 (LMICs) 的本地作者在眼科研究中占有很大比例,但随着收入水平的降低,期刊影响的增加和高收入国家参与度的增加,代表性下降,这表明需要公平的数据所有权.
科学领域:
- 眼科医生 眼科 眼科
- 图书统计学 图书统计学
- 全球卫生研究全球卫生研究
背景情况:
- 在全球范围内,低收入和中等收入国家 (LMICs) 承担了视力障碍的最大负担.
- 眼科研究往往缺乏LMICs的代表,尽管他们的疾病负担很大.
研究的目的:
- 评估来自LMICs的眼科研究中当地作者的代表性.
- 量化基于LMIC的眼科研究中LMIC附属作者比例.
主要方法:
- 在2017年至2021年间发表在7个具有影响力的期刊上,对基于LMIC的眼科研究进行了横截面的图书统计分析.
- 数据提取包括研究地点,第一/最后一位作者的国家归属,作者比例,资金和研究设计.
主要成果:
- 89.4%的第一作者和80.6%的最后作者在专门在LMIC进行的研究中是LMIC附属的.
- 在低收入国家,撒哈拉以南非洲,高影响期刊和高收入国家 (HIC) 资助或合作的研究中,LMIC作者代表性下降.
- 很少有单一国家研究在低收入国家进行,这些国家的第一或最后作者很少.
结论:
- 虽然基于LMIC的眼科研究显示了比其他领域更好的本地作者,但基于国家收入,期刊声望和HIC参与存在差异.
- 在全球眼科研究中,公平的数据所有权对于解决这些代表性差距至关重要.

The Retina
69.1K
The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.

Vision
53.5K
Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Glaucoma: Overview
584
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
