Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate demographic data of the patients that arc followed up in our glaucoma department and their compliance to medical therapy. Study Design: 343 eyes of 177 glaucoma patiens that had followed up in our glaucoma department of Şişli Etfal Hospital between November 2002 and May 2003 were examined.Patients were classified according to: age, sex, family history, type of glaucoma, accompanying systemic diseases, refractive errors, mean intraocular pressure measured at the onset of the treatment, control of the intraocular pressure either by medical or combined therapy, number of drugs that were used and compliance of the patients to medical therapy. The patients who had only surgical therapy were excluded from our study. Results: Mean age was 64.6+11 years ami male/female ratio was 581119, family history were present in 11.3%, 70.68% of the patients had primary open angle glaucoma, 11.69% had narrow angle glaucoma, 5.9% aphakic-pseudophakic glaucoma, 4.43% pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, 2.7% pigmentary glaucoma, 0.5% juvenile glaucoma, 4.3% had secondary glaucoma. 12.02% of patients had accompanying diabetes, 9.6% hypertension, 9.7% diabetes and hypertension. 29,57% hypermetropia, 18,30% myopia, 45,13% emmetropia, 7.3% mixed astigmatism was identified. Mean intraocular pressure before the treatment was 23.0±8.1 mmHg. 76.70% of cases had medical treatment and 23.30% of cases had medical and surgical treatment. Mean number of drugs used in both groups was 1.73+0.72. Compliance to treatment was graded as within the range of 0-3. 4.55% was assesed as 0, 7.95% as 1, 12.50% as 2,and 75% as 3. Conclusion: Nowadays, although great success is obtained in the medical treatment of the glaucoma we observed poor medication compliance in great proportion of our cases. Our aim is to educate patients in clinical conditions and improve their, compliance with the medical regimen.

Özet

Amaç: Glokom birimimizde takip edilen olgularımızın demografik verilerini ve medikal tedaviye uyumlarını değerlendirmek. Yöntem: Kasım 2002-Mayıs 2003 tarihleri arasında Şişli Etfal Hastanesi Göz Polikliniği' nde takibi yapılan 177 glokomlu olgunun 343 gözü incelendi. Olgular yas, cinsiyet, aile anaınnezi, glokom tipi, eslik eden sistemik hastalıklar, refraksiyon kusuru, glokom tedavisine haşlandığında ölçülen ilk göz içi basıncının ortalama değeri, göz içi basıncının medikal yada kombine tedavi ile kontrol altına alınması, medikal tedavide kullanılan ilaç sayısı ve medikal tedaviye uyum parametrelerine göre sınıflandırıldı. Sadece cerrahi tedavi uygulanıp takip edilen olgular çalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 64.6+11, erkek/kadın oranı 581119, aile anamnezi %/l.3 olarak saptandı. Olgularımızın %70.68'i primer açık açılı glokom, %11.69'u dar açılı glokom, %5.9'u afak psödofak glokom, %4.43'ü psödoeksföliasyon glokomu, %2.7'si pigmenter glokom, %0.5' i juvenil glokom, %4.3'ü diğer sekonder glokomlardan oluşuyordu. %12.02 ile diabet, %9.6 ile hipertansiyon, %9.7 diabet ve hipertansiyon en sık eşlik eden sistemik hastalıklar olarak gözlendi. %29.57 hipermetrop, %18.30 miyopi, %45.13 emetropi, %7.3 mikst astigmatizma saptandı. Tedavi başlangıcındaki ilk ölçümde ortalama göz içi basıncı 23.0+8.1 mmHg bulundu. Göz içi basıncı kontrolü olgularımızın %76.70'inde medikal tedavi, %23.30'unda medikal ve cerrahi tedavi kombine uygulanarak sağlandı. Her iki gurupta kullanılan ortalama ilaç sayısı 1.73+0.72, tedaviye uyum 0-3 arası derecelendirmede %4.55'i 0, %7.95'i 1, %12.50'si 2, %75'i 3 olarak değerlendirildi. Sonuç: Günümüzde medikal tedavi ile büyük başarılar elde etmemize rağmen olgularımızın ilaç kullanımlarının büyük oranda düzensiz olduğunu gördük. Amacımız poliklinik koşullarında, olgularımızı daha iyi bilgilendirerek daha düzenli ilaç kullanımını sağlamaktır.
