Serum lipid level of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the serum lipid level of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods A total of 71 BRVO patients (BRVO group) were enrolled in this study.The patients included 31 males and 40 females,with an average age of (52.75 ± 10.2) years.All the patients were examined for visual acuity,slit lamp ophthalmoscopy combine with preset lens,fundus color photography and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination.Seventy-two age-and sex-matched normal subjects were enrolled in this study as control group.The subjects included 32 males and 40 females,with an average age of (53.10±9.5) years.The BRVO and control group were divided into four subgroup which including age with ＜40 years,40-49 years,50-59 years and ≥60 years.The plasma cholesterol and triglyceride level of BRVO group,control group,and age subgroups of BRVO and control group were comparatively analyzed.Results The average plasma cholesterol levels were (4.529±0.100) and (4.274±0.106) mmol/L in BRVO and control group,respectively.There was no difference between two groups (t=-1.738,P＞0.05).The average triglyceride levels were (1.500±0.129) and (1.319±0.095) mmol/L in BRVO and control group,respectively.There was no difference between two groups (t=-1.135,P＞0.05).There was no difference of average plasma cholesterol (t=-1.755,1.850,-1.892,-0.507) and triglyceride (t=0.846,-0.074,-1.288,-1.887) level in age subgroups of BRVO and control subgroup (P＞0.05).Conclusion There is no significant difference of serum lipid level between BRVO patients and controls.
