| description | The prevalence of depression among visually impaired or blind children and adolescents has not been systematically reviewed. This study aims to provide the prevalence of depression among visually impaired or blind children and adolescents. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines (PRISMA) (2020) and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines. A systematic search of various online databases was done to identify and include studies reporting the prevalence of depression among visually impaired or blind children and adolescents (aged up to 20 years). A random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of depression. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 to explain heterogeneity meta-regressive analysis and subgroup analyses were done. With the finally selected 13 studies consisting of 822 participants, the overall pooled prevalence of depression or dysthymia among visually impaired children or adolescents was 14% (137/822 individuals, 95% CI = 9% to 20%), with high heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 80.11%; P < 0.001). Five studies that expressed gender distribution showed a cumulative prevalence of diagnosed depressive disorders was 6.85% and 18.96%, respectively, for male (n = 219, I2 = 47.52) and female (n = 116, I2 = 60.6%) participants. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we selected and analyzed 13 studies and estimated pooled prevalence of depression was 14% (95% CI = 9% to 20%), among visually impaired or blind children and adolescents. |
