ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative disorder of the retina that affects low birth weight preterm babies and is the leading cause of blindness in children in developed and developing countries. OBJECTIVE: Considering the importance of evaluating the pathology, this study aimed to carry out an epidemiological analysis of premature patients referred to the Pediatric Ophthalmology sector of Centro Universitário FMABC. METHODS: Retrospective study of the medical records of patients referred to the Pediatric Ophthalmology sector of Centro Universitário FMABC, from March 2017 to December 2017, for ophthalmological evaluation due to suspected ROP (59 medical records). RESULTS: Of the total of 43 eyes with the disease, two eyes fit in Zone II and 41 in Zone III. Seventeen eyes were classified as Stage 1, 16 as Stage 2, 4 as Stage 3, 4 as Stage 4 and 2 as Stage 5. CONCLUSION: The development of ROP was inversely proportional to weight and gestational age at birth. Treatment proved to be less prevalent in the disease.

A faixa etária mais acometida encontrou-se entre 11 e 30 anos (74%). A taxa de sucesso ao fim do tratamento foi de 93% (AV final acima de 0,3 ou 20/70). CONCLUSÃO: Lentes de contato mostraram-se eficazes ao proporcionar melhora visual na maioria dos pacientes, especialmente nos ceratocones graduados como avançados e graves.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliação do perfil socioeconômico dos pacientes portadores de glaucoma primário em acompanhamento no serviço de oftalmologia do hospital universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (MG), Brasil. MÉTODOS: Aplicação de um questionário em 100 pacientes durante suas consultas no serviço de oftalmologia do hospital universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, no período de abril de 2005 a junho de 2006. RESULTADOS: Observou-se que 84 por cento dos pacientes eram pensionistas ou aposentados, 86 por cento recebiam de 1 a 2 salários mínimos, 29 por cento gastavam de 26 a 75 reais/mês com o tratamento do glaucoma, 78 por cento apresentavam co-morbidades e 41 por cento já haviam suspendido o tratamento por falta de condições financeiras para a compra das medicações. CONCLUSÃO: A população em estudo, de baixo nível socioeconômico, apresenta dificuldades de adesão terapêutica por, principalmente, problemas financeiros e presença de co-morbidades. Os autores reforçam a urgente necessidade de adoção de medidas sociopolíticas que facilitem o acesso à medicação antiglaucomatosa, determinando maior aderência terapêutica.
