Global, Regional, and National Burden of Trachoma: Cross-Country Inequalities, 1990–2021, with Projections to 2040
Over the past three decades, the global burden of trachoma has decreased significantly, but SDI-related inequalities among countries have persisted. Despite reductions in the prevalence rate, the number of patients with trachoma is projected to increase from 2022 to 2040. Our study provides valuable insights into the elimination of trachoma worldwide.
