“…In addition, hospital-admitted eye trauma incidence estimates derived from the PCS were found to be similar to previously reported eye trauma hospital admission rates in Australia. 5,8 There were clear differences between incidence estimates derived from each case series. These differences may be accounted for in the unique recruitment strategies.…”

The authors have no funding sources to declare. 3Abstract Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of eye trauma presenting to a regional referral health service in New South Wales, Australia. Methods:A two-stage retrospective and prospective case series study was conducted. Patients who presented with eye trauma to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital (WWBH) emergency department (ED) during a one year review period formed the retrospective case series (RCS). Patient inclusion was determined using SNOMED CT and ICD-10 codes applied to medical records. Patients presenting with eye trauma to the WWBH ED or its ophthalmology service over a prospective 80 day study period formed the prospective case series (PCS). The main outcome measures were patient demographics, eye trauma incidence for Wagga Wagga and the Murrumbidgee region and injury details.

“…3 There have been several previous epidemiological reports on eye trauma in Australia. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Young males have been noted to be at particular risk of injury. Work-related eye trauma has been identified as a significant public health concern, with protective eyewear compliance at suboptimal levels.…”

“…Clinical and epidemiological ocular trauma studies have been described in the United States [5], [9], [12], [13] and other developed countries [10], [14], [15], [17]–[25]. Information on its epidemiology from developing countries is also available [7], [26]–[30], but the burden and pattern of injuries in developing countries are poorly known and not well studied [31].…”

BackgroundThe burden and pattern of ocular trauma in China are poorly known and not well studied. We aimed at studying the epidemiological characteristics of patients hospitalized for ocular trauma at major ophthalmology departments in the largest industrial base of plastic toys in China.MethodsA retrospective study of ocular trauma cases admitted to 3 tertiary hospitals in China from 1st January 2001 to 31st December 2010 was performed.ResultsThe study included a total of 3,644 injured eyes from 3,559 patients over the 10-year period: 2,008 (55.1%) open-globe injuries, 1,580 (43.4%) closed-globe injuries, 41 (1.1%) chemical injuries, 15 (0.4%) thermal injuries and 678 (18.6%) ocular adnexal injuries. The mean age of the patients was 29.0±16.8 years with a male-to-female ratio of 5.2∶1 (P = 0.007). The most frequent types of injury were work-related injuries (1,656, 46.5%) and home-related injuries (715, 20.1%). The majority of injuries in males (56.2%) and females (36.0%) occurred in the 15–44 age group and 0–14 age group, respectively. The final visual acuity correlated with the initial visual acuity (Spearman’s correlation coefficient = 0.659; P<0.001). The Ocular Trauma Score also correlated with the final visual acuity (Spearman’s correlation coefficient = 0.655; P<0.001).ConclusionsThis analysis provides an epidemiological study of patients who were hospitalized for ocular trauma. Preventive efforts are important for both work-related and home-related eye injuries.
