Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency of clinically detected pseudoexfoliation in 40 years and older population who applied to the ophthalmology polyclinic of our Hospital.Materials and Methods: 40 years and older 3084 patients who applied to ophthalmology polyclinic of our hospital from the surrounding area were included in this study prospectively between January 2013 and July 2014. Detailed biomicroscopic examination, best corrected visual acuity, dilated fundus evaluation with 90 diopter Goldmann indirect lens was performed in all patients. t-test, anova and regression analyses were used as statistical method. P<0.05 values were accepted statisticaly significant. Results: The mean age was 61.54±12.4 years. When all age groups were handled, 136 of the 3084 patients (4.4%) had pseudoexfoliation. 64 (47%) of 136 patients were woman and 72 (53%) of them were man who had pseudoexfoliation. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.004). 4 of 1333 patients (0.3%) between 40-59 years, 60 of 1395 patients (4.3%) between 60-79 years, 72 of 356 patients (20.2%) 80 years and older age had pseudoexfoliation. Frequency of the pseudoexfoliation was significantly increased by age (r:0.27, p< 0.001). While pseudoexfoliation was viewing in both eyes in 67% of all patients, it was one eye in 33% of patients. The difference between them was statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusions: We believe that there is need for a multicenter, more comprehensive study although this study give an idea about frequency of pseudoexfoliation in 40 years old and over patients who applied ophthalmology polyclinic of our hospital.

Özet

Amaç: Hastanemiz göz polikliniğine başvuran 40 yaş ve üstü popülasyonda klinik muayene ile saptanan psödoeksfolyasyon sıklığını değerlendirmek.Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemiz göz polikliniğine Ocak 2013-Temmuz 2014 tarihleri arasında çevre yöreden başvuran 40 yaş ve üstü 3084 hasta prospektif olarak çalışma kapsamına alındı. Tüm hastalara ayrıntılı biyomikroskopik muayene, en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği, dilate fundus değerlendirmesi yapıldı. Psödoeksfolyasyonu olan hastalar kaydedildi. İstatiksel yöntem olarak t-testi, anova ve regresyon analizi kullanıldı. P<0.05 olan değerler anlamlı kabul edildi.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 61.54±12.4'tü. Tüm yaş grupları ele alındığında 3084 hastanın 136' sında (%4.4) psödoeksfolyasyon vardı. Psödoeksfolyasyon olan 136 hastanın 64'ü (%47) kadın ve 72'si (%53) erkekti. Aradaki fark istatiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p=0.004). 40-59 yaş arası 1333 hastanın 4'ünde (% 0.3), 60-79 yaş arası 1395 hastanın 60'ında (%4.3), 80 yaş ve üzeri 356 hastanın 72'sinde (%20.2) psödoeksfolyasyon mevcuttu. Yaş ile psödoeksfolyasyon görülme sıklığı anlamlı ölçüde artmaktaydı (r:0.27, p<0.001). PES hastaların %67'sinde her iki gözde izlenirken %33'ünde tek taraflıydı. Aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.001). Tartışma: Her ne kadar bu çalışma hastanemiz göz polikliniğine başvuran 40 yaş üzeri hastalarda psödoeksfolyasyon sıklığı hakkında bir fikir verse de, çok merkezli, daha geniş kapsamlı bir çalışmaya ihtiyaç olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
