Risk of retinal disease and visual impairment in individuals with psychiatric disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Individuals with a psychiatric disease have been reported to have structural variations in the retina, but how this affects retinal disease risk and vision loss is poorly understood. This study evaluated the risk of retinal disease and visual impairment in individuals with psychiatric disorders.

Subjects/methods

An exploratory retrospective cohort study was conducted through a federated health research network that aggregates de-identified EHR data of over 95 million individuals across 50 healthcare organizations. Individuals ages 50-89 were identified for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), retinal disease, and visual impairment defined by vision loss or blindness using ICD-10 codes.
