Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to compare the effects of fixed combinations of dorzolamide/timolol maleate (DTFC) and la-tanoprost/timolol maleate (LTFC) at primary open angle glaucoma patients and assess the patient compliance to treatment. Materials and Methods: Forty-four eyes of 24 patients taking LTFC, 35 eyes of 24 patients taking DTFC and totally 79 eyes of 48 patients were included in this study. Patients were followed for 6 months. At 3rd month, diurnal in-traocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations were assessed. Perimetry and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) analyze were repeated at 6th month. Results: Both medicines had efficiently controlled the IOP and diurnal fluctuations and statistically no significant dif-ference was observed (p>0.05). Perimetric and RNFL measurements were not different in both groups(p>0.05).When we have compared the results of baseline and 6th months, MD and sLV values decreased, RNFL in some cases in-creased on the other hand we have also observed a decrease in some cases(p0.05). Most of the patients did not forget to take their medicines (DTSK %54.2 and LTSK %66.7) and in following visits, compliance and adherence were improved in both groups. It is detected that duration of medi-cine use may affect the compliance (p=0.007). Conclusion: It is observed that two medicines controlled the IOP and diurnal fluctuations clinically efficient and effec-tively, had reasonable side effects and had high patient compliance to treatment.

Abstract

Amaç: Primer açık açılı glokomu olan hastalarda, dorzolamid-timolol maleat (DTSK) ve latanoprost-timolol maleat (LTSK) sabit kombinasyonlarının etkilerini karşılaştırmayı ve tedaviye hasta uyumunu değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve yöntem: LTSK kullanan 24 hastanın 44 gözü, DTSK kullanan 24 hastanın 35 gözü olmak üzere toplam 48 hastanın 79 gözü çalışma kapsamına alındı. Hastalar 6 ay takip edildi. Üçüncü ayda gün içi göz içi basıncı (GİB) dal-galanmalarına bakıldı. Görme alanı ve retina sinir lifi tabakası (RSLT) analizi 6.ayda tekrarlandı. Bulgular: Her iki ilacın da GİB\'nı ve gün içi dalgalanmalarını etkin bir şekilde kontrol ettiği ve aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığı gözlendi(p>0.05). Görme alanı ve RSLT ölçümlerinde iki grup arasında istatistik-sel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu(p>0.05). Başlangıç ve altıncı ay karşılaştırıldığında, MD ve sLV değerlerinde azalma, RSLT ölçümlerinde ise azalma ve artma yönünde değişiklikler istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu(p0.05). Her iki grupta da başlangıçta hastaların çoğu ilaç alımını unutmadı(DTSK %54.2 ve LTSK %66.7). Ta-kip eden kontrollerde, iki grupta da kompliyans ve adherens arttı. İlaç kullanım süresinin kompliyansı etkileyebildiği bulundu (p=0.007). Sonuç: Her iki ilacın da, GİB\'nı ve gün içi dalgalanmalarını etkin ve klinik olarak yeterli bir şekilde kontrol edebildiği, tolere edilebilir yan etkilere sahip oldukları ve hastaların tedavi uyumlarının yüksek olduğu görüldü.
