Abstract

Objectives: The relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) remains underexplored, and large-scale global studies are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the association between GERD and PANDO on an international scale.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, encompassing over 157 million patients across 18 countries. Patients with GERD and controls without GERD were included from January, 2004, through November, 2024. Patients with pre-existing lacrimal passage disorders were excluded. The primary outcome was the incidence of PANDO. Patients were followed for up to 20 years. Propensity score matching was employed to balance baseline characteristics. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs), and Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to assess the cumulative incidence.

Results: After matching, 876,330 patients were included in both the GERD and control cohorts. GERD was associated with a significantly higher risk of PANDO (HR: 2.49; 95% CI: 2.18-2.85; P < 0.001). Risk stratification analyses demonstrated greater risks in females (HR: 2.74; 95% CI: 2.32-3.24) and in older age groups (HR for ≥60 years: 3.12; 95% CI: 2.59-3.74). Comorbidities such as diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and sinusitis further increased the risk of PANDO.

Conclusions: GERD increases the risk of PANDO, particularly in females, older adults, and patients with cardiovascular comorbidities or sinusitis. Clinicians should educate GERD patients about the potential risk of PANDO and arrange referrals when necessary.

胃食管反流病患者原发性获得性鼻泪管阻塞的风险:一项基于全球人群的研究
目的:胃食管反流病(GERD)与原发性获得性鼻泪管梗阻(PANDO)之间的关系尚不清楚,缺乏大规模的全球研究。本研究旨在评估GERD与PANDO在国际范围内的关系。方法:这项回顾性队列研究利用了来自TriNetX全球协作网络的数据,涵盖了18个国家的1.57亿多名患者。从2004年1月到2024年11月,纳入了有GERD的患者和没有GERD的对照组。排除既往有泪道障碍的患者。主要观察指标为PANDO的发生率。研究人员对患者进行了长达20年的随访。采用倾向评分匹配来平衡基线特征。采用Cox比例风险回归计算风险比(hr),采用Kaplan-Meier分析评估累积发生率。结果:匹配后,876,330例患者被纳入胃食管反流组和对照组。GERD与PANDO的风险显著升高相关(HR: 2.49;95% ci: 2.18-2.85;结论:GERD增加PANDO的风险,特别是在女性、老年人、心血管合并症或鼻窦炎患者中。临床医生应教育胃食管反流患者PANDO的潜在风险,并在必要时安排转诊。

期刊介绍: Eye seeks to provide the international practising ophthalmologist with high quality articles, of academic rigour, on the latest global clinical and laboratory based research. Its core aim is to advance the science and practice of ophthalmology with the latest clinical- and scientific-based research. Whilst principally aimed at the practising clinician, the journal contains material of interest to a wider readership including optometrists, orthoptists, other health care professionals and research workers in all aspects of the field of visual science worldwide. Eye is the official journal of The Royal College of Ophthalmologists. Eye encourages the submission of original articles covering all aspects of ophthalmology including: external eye disease; oculo-plastic surgery; orbital and lacrimal disease; ocular surface and corneal disorders; paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus; glaucoma; medical and surgical retina; neuro-ophthalmology; cataract and refractive surgery; ocular oncology; ophthalmic pathology; ophthalmic genetics.
