| Abstract |
To describe trends in the incidence of visual impairment and blindness due to diabetic retinopathy among adults aged 18-69years in Ireland between 2004 and 2013. Data on visual impairment due to diabetic retinopathy in adults aged 18-69years or over who are registered with the National Council for the Blind of Ireland, (2004-2013) were analysed. Annual incidence rates were calculated for the adult population and the population with diagnosed diabetes. Poisson regression was used to test for changes in rates over time. The relative, attributable and population risk of blindness and visual impairment due to diabetic retinopathy were calculated for 2013. Over the decade, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes increased from 2.1% to 3.6%. Among people with diagnosed diabetes, the incidence of visual impairment due to diabetic retinopathy increased from 6.4 (95% CI 2.4-13.9) per 100,000 in 2004 to 11.7 (95% CI 5.9-21.0) per 100,000 in 2013. The incidence of blindness due to diabetic retinopathy varied from 31.9 per 100,000 (95% CI 21.6-45.7) in 2004 to 14.9 per 100,000 (95% CI 8.2-25.1) in 2013. Our findings indicate the need for increased attention to preventive measures for microvascular complications among adults with diabetes in Ireland. Retinopathy screening has been standardised in Ireland, these findings provide useful baseline statistics to monitor the impact of this population-based screening programme. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 January 2017.
All research outputs
#14,271,061
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice
#1,761
of 3,191 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#179,474
of 348,256 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice
#27
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,191 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 348,256 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
