An association between dyslipidemia and meibomian gland dysfunction has been proposed, but this has not been estimated. Therefore, this study evaluates the odds of dyslipidemia in meibomian gland dysfunction. PURPOSE: This study aimed to use meta-analysis to estimate the association between dyslipidemia and meibomian gland dysfunction. METHODS: The following databases were searched: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Case-control and cohort studies assessing the association between dyslipidemia and meibomian gland dysfunction were included. The association was assessed using odds ratios. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed with the χ2 statistic and degree of inconsistency. The quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (ID: CRD42022347982). RESULTS: The systematic review included three case-control and two cohort studies. The odds of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia in meibomian gland dysfunction were 5.45 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65 to 17.95) and 3.28 (95% CI, 1.25 to 8.62), respectively. The odds of elevated serum low-density lipoprotein and reduced high-density lipoprotein in meibomian gland dysfunctionwere 2.72 (95% CI, 1.24 to 5.98) and 1.15 (95% CI, 0.74 to 1.79), respectively. The current study's limitation is that the effects of sex, age, and meibomian gland dysfunction severity on the association between dyslipidemia and meibomian gland dysfunction were not assessed. CONCLUSIONS: The current study suggests a significant association between dyslipidemia and meibomian gland dysfunction. This finding suggests that meibomian gland dysfunction diagnosis may call for dyslipidemia screening.

[Thésaurus Mesh]Syndromes de l'oeil secMots-clés : recherche documentaire systématique Résumé : SIGNIFICANCE: Dry eye disease is a significant public health problem globally. The magnitude of the dry eye disease problem in Africa is, however, unknown. This study provides important and lacking information on dry eye disease in Africa. PURPOSE: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dry eye disease in Africa. METHODS: A systematic online literature search was conducted for articles on dry eye disease in Africa. Meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the prevalence of dry eye disease in Africa and meta-regression to explore the association between dry eye and sex, age, study population, country of study, and type of study. RESULTS: The overall prevalence estimate of dry eye disease in Africa was 42.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30.7 to 53.8%). The prevalence rates of dry eye disease in male and female individuals were 42.1% (95% CI, 28.5 to 56.3%) and 44.4% (95% CI, 30.2 to 59.0%), respectively; in South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, and Egypt, the rates were 54.9% (95% CI, 39.0 to 70.4%), 38.3% (95% CI,17.7 to 61.4%), 41.4% (95% CI, 20.1 to 64.5%), and 34.9% (95% CI, 13.2 to 60.6%) respectively; and in school, hospital, and population-based studies, the rates were 51.6% (95% CI, 40.6 to 62.6%), 38.7% (95% CI, 21.9 to 57.0%), and 37.4% (95% CI, 27.4 to 48.0%). respectively. The prevalence rates of dry eye disease were 36.9% (95% CI, 26.7 to 51.1%) in a “normal” population and 44.2% (95% CI, 18.0 to 67.9%) in a population with known risk conditions. There were no associations between dry eye disease prevalence and sex (P = .88), type of study (P = .42), country of study (P = .33), study population (P = .59), and the diagnostic criteria used (P = .36). CONCLUSIONS: There seems to be a significant dry eye disease burden in Africa. This may pose an important public health problem that requires immediate attention and action. More epidemiological studies in Africa are needed to fully understand this problem to inform policy decisions.
