Abstract

Objectives: To assess seasonal variations in the incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. Materials and Methods: Patients presenting due to primary RRD to a university hospital operating as a reference clinic in the region between 2011 and 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients’ ages, sex, affected eye, and presentation times were recorded. Years were divided into months, quarters, seasons, and half-year periods, and these periods were analyzed in terms of differences in patient numbers. Results: Two hundred eighty-one eyes of 276 patients meeting the study criteria were included. The patients’ mean age was 60.2 years, and the male:female ratio was 1.35:1. Right and left eye rates were similar. Detachments were most common (49.4%) in the upper temporal quadrant. Eighty-nine patients (31.6%) had undergone uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery a mean 2.7 years previously. The mean annual case number was 35.13±5.43, and no statistically significant variation was determined in case numbers by year (p=0.558). Analysis of all years revealed a monthly mean case number of 23.42±4.4, with the highest number of cases, 29 (10.3%), being seen in September and the lowest number, 13 (4.7%), in December. No statistically significant monthly variation was determined (p=0.613). Similarly, no statistically significant variation was observed in case numbers analyzed by quarter, season, or half-year (p>0.05). Conclusion: The incidence of cases of uncomplicated RRD does not exhibit seasonal variation in our region. We also think that since 31.6% had a history of cataract surgery, patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery, even if uncomplicated, should be periodically assessed for detachment.

Özet

Amaç: Türkiye’nin Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesinde regmatojen retina dekolmanlarının (RRD) özellikleri ve mevsimsel görülmefarklılıklarını değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif olarak 2011-2018 yılları arasında primer RRD nedeniyle bölgede referans klinik durumunda olanüniversite hastanesine müracaat eden hastalar değerlendirildi. Hastaların cins, yaş, etkilenen göz, müracaat zamanları kaydedildi. Yılaylara, çeyrek dönemlere, mevsimlere ve iki döneme ayrılarak dönemler arasında hasta sayısı bakımından anlamlı farklılık bulunupbulunmadığı değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışma kriterlerine uyan 276 hastanın 281 gözünün dağılımı yapıldı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 60,2 olup erkek kadınoranı 1,35:1 idi. Sağ ve sol göz oranları benzerdi.Yırtıkların en sık (%49,4) görüldüğü bölge üst temporal kadrandı. Olguların 89 tanesi(%31,6) ortalama 2,7 yıl önce komplikasyonsuz fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi geçirmişti. Yıllık ortalama olgu sayısı 35,13±5,43 olup,yıllar arasında sayı bakımından anlamlı farklılık bulunamadı (p=0,558). Tüm yıllar değerlendirldiğinde, aylık ortalama olgu sayısı23,42±4,4 olup, en fazla başvuru 29 olgu (%10,3) ile Eylül ayında, en az başvuru ise 13 olgu (%4,7) ile Aralık ayında gerçekleşmişolup,istatiksel olarak aylar arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır (p=0,613). Benzer şekilde yılın çeyrek dönemleri, mevsimler ve yarıyıl karşılaştırmalarında olgu sayısı bakımından anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır (p>0,05).Sonuç: Komplikasyonsuz RRD olgularının görülme zamanı bölgemizde mevsimsel farklılık göstermemektedir. Bununla birlikte%31,6’sı katarakt cerrahisi öyküsüne sahip olduğu için komplikasyonsuz olsa da fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi yapılan hastaların periyodikolarak yırtık açısından değerlendirilmesininin uygun olacağı kanaatindeyiz.
