Abstract

Purpose: To compare the choroidal thickness in obese patients with healthy control group measured by optical coherence tomography.Material and Methods: 37 eyes of 37 patients who Body Mass Index over 30 and normal control groups with similar axial lengths were enrolled in the study between March 2014 and July 2016 prospectively. Patients who have undergone eye surgery or have a systemic disease that will affect the choroidal thickness (hypertension, diabetes, renal failure) were removed from study. Choroidal thickness was measured under the fovea, at 1,500 microns at the temporal and nasal location of the fovea with optical coherence tomography at 9:00 am. The values of both groups were compared with the independent sample t-test. Values of P <0.05 were considered statistically signifi cant.Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.43 ± 14.35 in the obese group and 33.24 ± 12.12 years in the control group (p = 0.97). Choroidal thickness under the fovea was in the obese group (301.51 ± 35.08 μ) and in the control group (284.21 ± 29.96 μ) (p=0.017). Choroidal thickness at 1500 μm temporal of the fovea was in the obese group (257.97 ± 27.51 μ) and in the control group (244.32 ± 25.17 μ) (p=0.031). Choroidal thickness at 1500 μm nasal of the fovea was in the obese group (228.59 ± 24.46 μ) and in the control group (214.84 ± 20.85 μ) (p=0.005). Conclusions: Choroidal thickness in obese patients is signifi cantly higher than the healthy control group

Özet

Amaç: Obez hastalarda optik koherens tomografi ile ölçülen koroid kalınlığını sağlıklı kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırmak.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Mart 2014-Temmuz 2016 tarihleri arasında vücut kitle indeksi 30'un üzeri olan 37 hastanın 37 gözü aksiyel uzunlukları benzer normal kontrol grubu ile prospektif olarak çalışmaya alındı. Göz cerrahisi geçiren veya koroid kalınlığını etkileyecek sistemik hastalığı (hipertansiyon, diyabet, böbrek yetmezliği) olan hastalar çalışmadan çıkarıldı. Koroid kalınlığı fovea altında, foveanın 1500 mikron temporali ve nazalinde optik koherens tomografi ile sabah saat 9:00' da ölçüldü. Her iki gruba ait değerler bağımsız örneklem t- testi ile karşılaştırıldı. P <0.05 olan değerler istatiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması obez grupta 38.43 ± 14.35, kontrol grubunda 33.24 ± 12.12 idi (p=0.97). Fovea altı koroid kalınlığı obez grupta (301.51 ± 35.08 ?) iken kontrol grubunda (284.21 ± 29.96 ?) idi (p=0.017). Foveanın 1500 mikron temporali koroid kalınlığı obez grupta (257.97 ± 27.51 ?) iken kontrol grubunda (244.32 ± 25.17 ?) idi (p=0.031). Foveanın 1500 mikron nazali koroid kalınlığı obez grupta (228.59 ± 24.46 ?) iken kontrol grubunda (214.84 ± 20.85 ?) idi (p=0.005). Tartışma: Obez hastalarda koroid kalınlığı sağlıklı kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir
