The Swedish National Pediatric Cataract Register ( <scp>PECARE</scp> ): Coexisting systemic disorders 2007–2023
Coexisting systemic disorders were present regardless of laterality, but more common among children with bilateral cataracts. Prevalence was similar among children with consanguineous parents, and lower among children with hereditary cataracts. National consensus regarding genetic screening for systemic disorders is needed.
