“…They include eyelids, eyelashes, conjunctiva, extraocular muscles, lacrimal apparatus, and orbit. 7 , 8 The eyes and adnexa are subject to several conditions due to congenital, developmental, structural, metabolic, autoimmune, infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, degenerative, and neoplastic disorders. Diseases that affect the globe and its surrounding tissues may present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to health-care providers, especially ophthalmologists and dermatologists.…”

Purpose To investigate the trends of hospital admissions concerning diseases of the eye and adnexa in the United Kingdom in the past 20 years. Materials and Methods An ecological study was conducted using hospital admission data taken from the Hospital Episode Statistics database in England and the Patient Episode Database for Wales. Hospital admissions data for diseases of the eye and adnexa were extracted for the period between April 1999 and March 2019. The trend in hospital admissions was assessed using a Poisson model. Results Hospital admission rate for diseases of the eye and adnexa increased by 73.8% [from 7.48 (95% CI 7.45–7.50) in 1999 to 13.00 (95% CI 12.97–13.02) in 2019 per 1000 persons, trend test, p < 0.001]. The most common cause of hospitalisation for diseases of the eye and adnexa was disorders of the lens (62.3%), followed by disorders of the choroid and retina (14.2%), followed by disorders of the eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit (11.5%). Hospital admission rate among males increased by 91.2% [from 6.19 (95% CI 6.16–6.22) in 1999 to 11.83 (95% CI 11.80–11.87) in 2019 per 1000 persons]. Hospital admission rate among females increased less sharply by 63.2% [from 8.71 (95% CI 8.68–8.75) in 1999 to 14.22 (95% CI 14.18–14.26) in 2019 per 1000 persons]. Conclusion There are clear gender and age trends in the epidemiology of hospital admissions related to eye and adnexa disorders. Further observational studies are warranted to identify other risk factors for these important causes of hospitalisation and understanding of differential trends.
