Abstract

ObjectiveFifty-three eyes of 53 patients with open eye injury
who admitted Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine Department of
Ophthalmology between January 1 2014-May 1 2017 were included in this
retrospective study in order to evaluate the epidemiological factors.

Material and Methods: Patient data were retrieved
from patient’s examination files. Patient data included age, gender, type of
trauma (sharp/blunt), location and nature of trauma. Visual acuity at the time
of presentation and at discharge were recorded using Snellen’s visual acuity
chart. Details of slit lamp examination including fundus examination were
noted.

Results: Of the patients, 43 (81.1%) were male
and 10 (18.9%) were female. Men had a higher rate of open globe trauma than
women (p<0.001). The incidence of eye injury decreased with increasing age.
Work-related injuries constituted 54.7%of traumatic injuries. Home accidents
constituted 22.6%, traffic accidents constituted 7.5%, outdoor related
activities constituted 13.2%, and sports-related injuries constituted 1.9%of
all open globe injuries.

Conclusion: The
consequences of open globe injuries treatment are not good for patients. Most
of these injuries are preventable. Prioritizing job security and educational
activities that will raise the public's awareness on this issue can reduce the
rate of such injuries.

AÇIK GLOB YARALANMALARI EPİDEMİYOLOJİSİ

Abstract

Amaç: 01.01.2014
ile 01.05.2017 tarihleri arasında açık glob yaralanması nedeniyle başvuran 53
hastanın 53 gözünü epidemiyolojik açıdan retrospektif olarak incelemek.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Hasta bilgileri hasta
dosyaları taranarak kaydedildi.
Çıkarılan hasta verileri
yaş, cinsiyet, travma türü (keskin/künt), yer ve travmanın şekli ve hangi gözde
olduğu şeklindeydi. Başvuru anındaki ve en son andaki görme keskinliği
Snellen'in görme keskinliği çizelgesi kullanılarak kaydedildi. Dilate fundus
bulgularını da kapsayan biyomikroskobik muayeneler ayrıntılı olarak not edildi.

Bulgular: Hastaların 43’ü (%81,1) erkek, 10’u (%18,9)
kadındı. Cinsiyet açısından karşılaştırıldığında açık glob travması erkek
hastalarda kadın hastalara göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksekti
(p<0.001). Hastaların yaşı arttıkça açık glob yaralanması insidansının
azaldığı görüldü. Travmaların %54,7’si iş kazası, %22,6’sı ev kazası, %7,5’i
trafik kazası, %13,2’si ev ve iş dışında, %1,9’u ise spor yaparken gerçekleşen
kazalardı.







Sonuç: Açık
glob yaralanmalarının tedavi sonuçları hastalar için yüz güldürücü değildir ve
bu tip yaralanmaların çoğunluğu önlenebilir sebeplerden meydana gelmektedir. İş
güvenliğine verilecek önem ve toplumun bu konudaki farkındalığını arttıracak
eğitimler bu tür yaralanmaların oranını azaltabilir.
