Abstract

Background and objectives: Cataract is common in aging populations, and causes blurry vision. Once it interferes with daily activity, it is treated surgically and may lead to complications such as posterior capsule rupture (PCR). The present study aims to calculate the rate of PCR and determine its correlation with age and hypertension. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between 31st August, 2016 to 30th December, 2018 at the Department of Ophthalmology, King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH), Bahrain. A total of 458 Bahraini patients, including 199 (43.5%) women and 259 (56.5%) men with a mean age of 66.2 ± 9.186 years (S.D.), were studied. Data from medical records and the theater logbook depicted two types of procedures, phacoemulsification and extracapsular-cataract-extraction (ECCE), which were performed by a single surgeon. Data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 26.0). Results: Of the 458 patients studied, 7 patients (1.5%) developed complications. Out of these patients who developed complications, 4 (0.8%) cases were of PCR with no vitreous loss. On analysis, age was a significant risk factor for patients above 60 years (P=0.05), whereas hypertension was not a significant (P=0.760) risk factor for developing PCR as a complication. Conclusion: Low PCR rates were reported in this study. Contributing factors to this low occurrence of PCR could be the identification of high-risk patients and years of the surgeon’s experience. The study highlights that patients above 60 years were at higher risk of developing PCR complications. In contrast, patients with hypertension were at lesser risk of developing PCR complications. Keywords: Cataract, extracapsular cataract extraction, hypertension, phacoemulsification, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, zonular dialysis.
白内障手术后囊膜破裂的发生率及其与年龄和高血压的关系
背景与目的:白内障在老年人群中很常见,可导致视力模糊。一旦它干扰了日常活动,就需要手术治疗,并可能导致后囊膜破裂(PCR)等并发症。本研究旨在计算PCR率,并确定其与年龄和高血压的相关性。方法:本回顾性研究于2016年8月31日至2018年12月30日在巴林哈马德国王大学医院(KHUH)眼科进行。研究共458例巴林患者,其中女性199例(43.5%),男性259例(56.5%),平均年龄66.2±9.186岁(S.D.)。来自医疗记录和手术室日志的数据描述了两种手术,超声乳化术和白内障囊外摘除(ECCE),这两种手术都是由一名外科医生进行的。数据分析采用SPSS (Version 26.0)软件。结果:458例患者中,7例(1.5%)出现并发症。在出现并发症的患者中,4例(0.8%)为PCR,无玻璃体丢失。在分析中,年龄是60岁以上患者的显著危险因素(P=0.05),而高血压不是发生PCR并发症的显著危险因素(P=0.760)。结论:本研究报道了低PCR率。导致PCR低发生率的因素可能是对高危患者的识别和外科医生多年的经验。该研究强调,60岁以上的患者发生PCR并发症的风险更高。相比之下,高血压患者发生PCR并发症的风险较低。关键词:白内障,白内障囊外摘除术,高血压,超声乳化术,后囊破裂,玻璃体丢失,晶状体透析。
