Research on corticosteriod-induced ocular hypertension after vitreoretinal surgery / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic and risk factors of corticosteriod-induced ocular hypertension after vitreoretinal surgery.Methods Retrospective analysis was made based on the clinical data of 866 patients,including 126 corticosteriod-induced ocular hypertension(89 male,37 female,age range 9-70 years old) after vitreoretinal surgery during May 2002 to May 2005.Results All cases used glucocorticoid locally or systemically.Multi-variance logistic analysis showed that male,complicated vitreoretinal surgery,longer hospital stay,therapeutic duration with glucocorticoid,cataracta were the independent predictive factors,while myopia,hypertension,diabetes were not closely related to corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension.Conclusion The incidence of corticosteriod-induced ocular hypertension after vitreoretinal surgery was 14.55%.The important factor leading to ocular hypertension is long-term application of glucocorticoid.
