Astale T, Ebert CD, Nute AW, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for estimating the population-based prevalence of trachomatous scarring (TS) within Amhara, Ethiopia, a region with a historically high burden of trachoma. Between 2010 and 2015, district-level multi-stage cluster surveys were performed in all districts to monitor the impact of about 5 years of trachoma interventions. Across the 152 districts in Amhara, 208,510 people ages 1 year and older were analyzed for the signs of trachoma. The findings of these 152 population-based surveys indicate that Amhara has a long history of trachoma exposure and that a large population is still at risk of developing trachomatous trichiasis. However, it is encouraging that children, many of whom were born after interventions began, have low levels of TS when compared with other known trachoma-hyperendemic areas.
