Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the demographical characteristics and comorbidity of systemic and ocular diseases of cataract patients in Central Anatolian Region and to evaluate the relationship between the cataract types and comorbid diseases in our cataract surgery patients.Material and Methods: Six hundreds and thirteen eyes of 613 patients who had cataract surgery were included in this study. The patients were excluded who had history of trauma and uveitis or who had congenital cataract. The patients were included who had history of systemical or ocular comorbid diseases. The patients were evaluated with biomicroscopic examination and seperated into 4 groups of cataract types: Nuclear, cortical, posterior subcapsular, mix. A history of systemic and ocular disease was recorded together with systemic or topical medications used. Blood tests were performed for infectious diseases in the preoperative period.Results: Mean age of patients were 66.44±11.16 years. Mix type was found the most common type of all cataracts. Except mix type the most common type of cataract was nuclear cataract. At least one comorbid disease was found in 73.2% of all patients. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus and age related macular degeneration(ARMD), diabetic retinopathy-maculopathy were found the common comorbid diseases of all systemic and ocular diseases, respectively. Nuclear cataract was found the most common type of cataract in the patients who had non-exudative ARMD.Conclusion: Cataract surgeons should examine the comorbid diseases of cataract patients before surgery. In conclusion, there are a lot of comorbid diseases in cataract patients because of they age and oxidative stress they had until these age.

Özet

Amaç: Katarakt operasyonu için kliniğimize başvurmuş hastalardan yola çıkarak; İç Anadolu Bölgesi'ndeki katarakt hastalarının demografik özelliklerini, katarakta eşlik eden sistemik ve göze ait hastalıkları ve bunların katarakt tipleri ile olan ilişkilerini incelemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde fakoemülsifikasyonla katarakt cerrahisi uygulanan 613 hastanın 613 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. Travma ve üveit öyküsü olan hastalar ile konjenital kataraktı olan hastalar çalışma dışında tutuldu. Sistemik hastalıklar ve eşlik eden diğer göz hastalığı bulunan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar tam bir oftalmolojik muayeneye tabi tutularak kataraktın tipi biyomikroskopik muayene ile nükleer, kortikal, posterior subkapsüler ve mikst olmak üzere 4 gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların mevcut hastalıklar açısından detaylı anamnezleri, sistemik ve topikal kullanılan ilaç öyküleri alındı. Preoperatif dönemde çeşitli bulaşıcı hastalıklar açısından kan tetkikleri istendi. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza dahil edilen yaş ortalaması 66.44±11.16 olan 613 hastada en sık görülen katarakt tipinin mikst tip olduğu, mikst olmayan grupta ise nükleer kataraktın sık görüldüğü tespit edildi. Hastaların %73.2'sinde katarakta eşlik eden en az bir ek hastalık bulunmaktadır. Katarakta en sık eşlik eden sistemik hastalıkların hipertansiyon (HT) ve diabetes mellitus (DM) olduğu; en sık eşlik eden oküler hastalıkların ise Yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasansı (YBMD) ve diabetik retinopati ve maküler ödem (DR±DMÖ) olduğu görüldü. Kuru tip YBMD hastalarında hasta sayısına oranla en sık görülen katarakt tipinin nükleer katarakt olduğu görüldü.Sonuç: Katarakt hastaları operasyona hazırlanırken mutlaka eşlik eden hastalıklar açısından da bir değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmaları gerekmektedir. Sonuç olarak katarakt hastalarının çoğunda gerek bulundukları yaş gerek o yaşa kadar maruz kaldıkları oksidatif stresler nedeniyle ek hastalıkları mevcuttur.
