Risk of retinal detachment following cataract extraction: results from the International Cataract Surgery Outcomes Study.

چکیده
AIMS To estimate the risk of retinal detachment (RD) following cataract extraction in Denmark, and to compare the risk with that following cataract extraction in the USA, and with that in a sample of Danish patients who did not have ocular surgery. METHODS A sample was created from the administrative Danish Hospital Register and included 19,252 patients who underwent first eye cataract surgery between 1985 and 1987, and who were 50 years of age or older. The patients were then followed for 4-6 years using the register data. The design and definition of events were identical to the US National Study of Cataract Outcomes. RESULTS In Denmark a 4 year cumulative risk of hospitalisation for RD of 0.93% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71-1.16) was observed following an extracapsular cataract extraction with a lens implant. A similar cumulative risk of RD was reported from the US study. Thus, no difference in outcomes concerning risk of RD was shown between Denmark and the USA. In a multivariate analysis younger age, male sex, and intracapsular cataract extraction were all associated with higher risk of postoperative RD. A reference group of 7636 people not undergoing any ocular surgery was created and the incidence of RD in this group was calculated. During the sixth year following cataract surgery, the incidence of RD in the cataract group was still 7.5 (95% CI 1.6-22.0) times higher than that observed in the reference group.
