Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics of elderly patientswith subconjunctival haemorrhageMaterials and Method: We evaluated 47 patients >60 years of age with subconjunctivalhaemorrhage who were admitted to our clinic. Various parameters were recorded, including age,gender, affected eye, haemorrhage localization, subconjunctival haemorrhage recurrence, presence of systemic and heart diseases, previous ocular surgery, drug use and presence of additional symptoms.Results: Among the 47 patients, 27 (57.4%) were male and the mean age was 67.96 ± 6.71(range, 60-88) years. The left eye was affected in 23 cases (48.9%) and the right eye in 22 cases (46.8%). In total, 26 patients were taking antithrombotic medications associated with an increased risk of subconjunctival haemorrhage. Among these patients, 15 (57.7%) were taking aspirin, ten (38.5%) were taking warfarin and one (3.8%) was taking clopidogrel. Symptoms capable of inducing haemorrhage were observed in 23 cases (48.9%). These comprised itchiness,which can cause minor ocular trauma (19 cases, 82%), coughing (three cases, 13%) and constipation (one case, 4.35). Hypertension was the most commonly observed condition in the studypopulation. Subconjunctival haemorrhage most frequently presented in the nasal region of theeye (51.1%). Recurrence of subconjunctival haemorrhage was not significantly associated withsystemic disease, concurrent medication or itchiness.Conclusion: The majority of elderly patients with non-traumatic subconjunctival haemorrhage were males, and non-traumatic subconjunctival haemorrhage was most frequently observedin the nasal region of the eye. The parameters most frequently associated with subconjunctivalhaemorrhage were hypertension and aspirin use

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlılarda görülen subkonjonktival hemorajinin klinik ve demografik özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde subkonjonktival hemoraji görülen 60 yaş üstü 47 olgu değerlendirildi. Olguların yaşı, cinsiyeti, etkilenen gözü, hemorajinin lokalizasyonu, tekrarlama öyküsü, sistemik hastalık varlığı, geçirilmiş göz cerrahisi, kapak hastalık varlığı, hemorajiye neden olabilecek ilaç kullanımı ve ek semptom varlığı incelendi.Bulgular: Olguların 27'si (%57.4) erkek olup yaş ortalaması 67.96±6.71 yıl idi. Olguların %49'unda sol göz, %47'sinde sağ göz etkilenmişti. Olguların 26'sında hemorajiye neden olabilecek ilaç kullanmaktaydı. On beş olgu (%57,7) antitrombotik ilaç asetilsalisilik asit, 10 olgu(%38,5) antikoagulan warfarin, 1 olgu antitrombotik ilaç Klopidogrel hidrojen sülfat kullanmaktaydı. Hemorajiye neden olabilecek semptomlar 23 olguda (%48,9) görüldü. Bunlardan 19 olguda (%82) gözlerde kaşıntı, 3 olguda (%13) öksürük, 1 olguda kabızlık mevcuttu. Eşlik eden sistemik hastalıklardan en çok hipertansiyon görüldü. Subkonjonktival hemoraji en sık nazal kadranda izlendi. Kanama tekrarlarına göre ilaç kullanımı, sistemik hastalık ve göz kaşıntısı varlığı arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı.Sonuç: Yaşlılarda travmatik olmayan subkonjonktival hemoraji daha çok erkeklerde ve nazalalanda izlendi. En sık hipertansiyon beraberliği ve antitrombotik ilaç aspirin kullanımı izlendi
