DME Understanding

DME is triggered by Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a well-known complication of diabetes. DR is the most prevalent diabetic eye disease and the leading cause of irreversible blindness in people in their working years in the developed and other developing countries. DR is caused by long-term damage to the retina’s small blood vessels. The leakage of fluid into the retina may lead to swelling of the surrounding tissue, including the macula. If left untreated, fluid can leak into the macula’s center, called the fovea, the part of the eye where sharp, straight-ahead vision occurs. The fluid makes the macula swell, blurring vision. This condition is called DME. The definition of clinically significant macular edema (CSME) is the most significant outcome of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS); it established a method for classifying and diagnosing DME and determining when treatment is required. Previously, DME was defined as CSME or not, and focal laser treatment was initiated only for CSME. Then, DME was subcategorized into two main categories: focal diabetic macular edema (fDME) and diffuse diabetic macular edema (dDME). DME diagnosis is clinically performed by fundoscopy; when the center of the macula (fovea centralis) is thickened or swollen, this is referred to as a clinically significant central-involved macular edema (CI-CSME). It is referred to as a clinically significant non-central-involved macular edema (NCI-CSME) when it is unaffected. Apart from this, tests that help in the diagnosis of DME are visual acuity, refractive error examination, fluorescein angiography (FA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan, pupil examination, slit-lamp examination, and retinal examination. However, if the diagnosis is delayed or the condition is left untreated, complications can arise and may even permanently impair the vision.

Epidemiology Perspective by DelveInsight

The DME epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current DME patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.

Key Findings

In 2020, the overall prevalent cases of DME accessed to be around 1,862,529 in the 7MM, which are expected to grow during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2034.

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted DME epidemiology [segmented as Total Prevalent cases of DME, Total Diagnosed Prevalent cases of DME, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DME, Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DME, Subgroups-Specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DME and Treated cases of DME] in the 7MM, covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan from 2021 to 2034.

Country Wise- DME Epidemiology

• In the United States, the total number of prevalent cases of DME were 1,026,346 in 2020 which are expected to increase during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2034.
• In 2020, the total prevalent cases of DME were 641,864 in EU-5, which are projected to increased during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2034.
• In Japan, the total number of prevalent cases of DME were 194,319 in 2020 which are expected to grow during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2034.
• Findings from various secondary studies suggest that DME affects more males as compared to females, and is more prevalent in elderly population. In the 7MM, the gender-specific diagnosed cases of DME were 486,120 for males and 352,018 for females, in 2020. In the 7MM, the age-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of DME were 120,436, 363,767 and 353,935 for the age-groups 18-44, 45-64 and ≥75 year, in 2020.
• In 2020, 193,979 non-central involved cases of DME and 267,876 central-involved DME cases were observed in the United States.
