Abstract

Introduction: One of the main causes of acquired blindness and impairment in children is ocular trauma. This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pediatric patients hospitalized with open globe injuries (OGI).

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on children diagnosed with OGI at a referral Hospital affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, from 2014 to 2018.

Results: 375 OGI medical records were detected during the study period. The common culprits for OGI in boys were knives (21.3%), wood (19.7%), metal bodies (12.2%), and glass (11.8%). In girls, the common causes were knives (28.7%), glass (24.3%), pencils (11.3%), and wood (10.4%). Boys had a greater rate of Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) (p= 0.052) but had lower odds of blindness compared to girls (OR=0.48; 95% CI: (0.24, 0.98); p = 0.04). Patients with corneal lacerations had lower chances of long-term admission than those with corneal and scleral lacerations (OR= 0.35, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.69); p = 0.02).

Conclusion: Most pediatric OGIs occur in boys. knives were the principal culprit for OGI, followed by glass and wood. Boys had a greater IOFB rate but lower blindness odds than girls.

创伤性开球部损伤后住院儿科患者的特征；一项横断面研究。

简介眼外伤是导致儿童后天失明和视力受损的主要原因之一。本研究旨在评估因开眼球损伤（OGI）住院的儿童患者的流行病学和临床特征：方法：对伊朗伊斯法罕市伊斯法罕医科大学附属转诊医院2014年至2018年期间确诊的OGI患儿进行回顾性横断面研究：研究期间共发现 375 份 OGI 病历。男童OGI的常见罪魁祸首是刀具（21.3%）、木头（19.7%）、金属体（12.2%）和玻璃（11.8%）。在女生中，常见原因是刀具（28.7%）、玻璃（24.3%）、铅笔（11.3%）和木头（10.4%）。与女孩相比，男孩的眼内异物（IOFB）发生率更高（P= 0.052），但失明几率较低（OR=0.48；95% CI：（0.24，0.98）；P= 0.04）。角膜裂伤患者长期入院的几率低于角膜和巩膜裂伤患者（OR=0.35；95% CI：（0.17，0.69）；P=0.02）：大多数小儿OGI发生在男孩身上，刀具是造成OGI的罪魁祸首，其次是玻璃和木头。与女孩相比，男孩的 IOFB 率较高，但失明几率较低。
