Alignment of Research Efforts With the Diabetic Retinopathy Burden of Disease and Socioeconomic Factors: An Analytical Bibliometric Study

7 While the incidence of blindness associated with DR is decreasing in HICs, probably due to increased awareness, timely screening, and appropriate treatment, LMICs are experiencing an increasing trend of blindness. 10 On the other hand, while the population of adults with diabetes in LMICs is expected to increase by 69% from 2010 to 2030, the index is projected at only 20% for HICs. 11 Previous bibliometric analyses have primarily described the publication trends in DR 12 - 17 ; however, the relationship between research output and disease burden has not been quantitatively explored.
