Abstract

Pur­po­se: To evaluate the association between the development of extremity fracture and visual impairment in adults. Ma­te­ri­al and Met­hod: This study included 56 patients (patient group) aged 18 years or older who had extremity fractures due to a fall. The control group (n=42) was selected from visitors who had regular medical check-ups at our hospital. Each participant underwent a full ophthalmologic examination. Mean age was compared by Student s t test. The other variables were compared by chi-square test. Re­sults: The prevalence of subjects with visual impairment was significantly higher in the patients group (78.6%) than in the control group (38.1%) (p

Özet

Amaç:Erişkinlerde düşmeye bağlı ekstremite kırıkları ile görme bozuklukları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak. Ge­reç ve Yön­tem: Çalışmaya 18 yaş üstü düşmeye bağlı ekstremite kırıkları oluşan 56 hasta (kırık grubu) dâhil edildi. Kontrol grubu (n=42), hastanemize rutin kontroller için gelen sağlıklı bireylerden seçildi. Her katılımcıya ayrıntılı bir göz muayenesi yapıldı. Grupların yaş ortalamaları Student t test ile karşılaştırıldı. Diğer sonuçların analizinde Ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Görme azlığı açısından değerlendirildiğinde kırık grubundaki oranın (%78,6) kontrol grubundaki orandan (%38,1) daha yüksek olduğu gözlendi (p
