The keratorefractive surgeries (KRS) are one of the most common ocular surgeries. One of the dangerous complications of these surgeries is infectious keratitis (IK), which is the second cause of blindness after cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of IK after KRS in different parts of the world. Methods. In order to obtain relevant studies, all national and international databases including IranMedex, SID, Magiran, IranDoc, Medlib, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched using standard keywords. Results. IK prevalence after KRS was 0.000496% (0.000145% for the left eye and 0.000149% for the right eye). IK prevalence after KRS in the United States, Europe, and Asia was 0.000667%, 0.000473%, and 0.000045%, respectively, in all of which the common microorganisms were Staphylococci. Meta-regression showed no significant association between IK after KRS and either sample size or publication year of the studies. IK prevalence after KRS in the right eye was more than that in the left one. Also, the probability of IK incidence after LASIK surgery was more than PRK and LASEK. In the evaluation of continents, IK after KRS in the United States was more frequent compared with Europe and Asia. Conclusions. This study provided data as to the overall prevalence of IK following KRS and its variations according to the types of eye, surgery, pathogenic microorganism, and geographical location.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/6329321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,28]],"date-time":"2020-07-28T23:38:24Z","timestamp":1595979504000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The Prevalence of Infectious Keratitis after Keratorefractive Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2020","author":[{"given":"Shahla","family":"Afsharpaiman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Research Center, Life Style Institute, Bagiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Musa","family":"Zare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Jahrom University of Medical Sciences, Jahrom, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6422-6573","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Masoud","family":"Yasemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Research Center, Life Style Institute, Bagiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tannaz","family":"Jamialahmadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Technology, Quchan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Quchan, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8656-1444","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Amirhossein","family":"Sahebkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Halal Research Center of IRI, FDA, Tehran, Iran"},{"name":"Biotechnology Research Center, Pharmaceutical Technology Institute, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"},{"name":"Neurogenic Inflammation Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"1","article-title":"Effect of booklet and combined method on parents\u2019 awareness of children with \u03b2-thalassemia major disorder","volume":"58","author":"M.
