摘要

目的该研究旨在确定哈拉雷地区屈光不正服务的流行病学并评估其接受趋势。方法从 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 12 月 31 日，在绿林公园眼科中心及其三家附属医院开展了一项以诊所为基础的回顾性研究。结果共检索到12216份患者病历，其中1074人（8.79%）患有屈光不正。就诊时视力受损的发生率为 5.80% [95% CI：5.39 - 6.23]。在屈光不正患者中，矫正前视力受损的样本流行率为 41.30% [95%CI：38.3 - 44.3]，矫正后为 2.20% [95%CI：1.4 - 3.3]。屈光不正服务的使用比例不一致，2015 年最高，为 42.60%。屈光不正类型与年龄、工作职位和接受屈光不正治疗前的视力损伤类型有关。结论在津巴布韦城市，屈光不正服务的利用率较低。

Epidemiology and trends in the uptake of refractive error services in Harare, Zimbabwe: a hospital-based retrospective study

AimThe study aimed to determine the epidemiology and evaluate the trends in the uptake of refractive error services in Harare. MethodsA clinic-based retrospective study at the Greenwood Park Eye Centre and its three subsidiaries was conducted from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020. Results12,216 patients’ records were retrieved, out of which 1074 (8.79%) had refractive error cases. The prevalence of visual impairment at presentation was 5.80% [95% CI: 5.39 – 6.23]. Among those with refractive error, the sample prevalence of visual impairment before correction was 41.30% [CI: 38.3 – 44.3, 95%], and 2.20% [95% CI: 1.4 – 3.3] after correction. There was inconsistency in the percentage utilization of refractive error services, with the highest being 42.60% in 2015. Refractive error types were related to age, employment position, and type of visual impairment prior to refractive error treatment. ConclusionThere was a low percentage of refractive error services uptake in urban Zimbabwe.
