Ocular Trauma Trends in Indonesia: Poor Initial Uncorrected Visual Acuity Associated with Mechanism of Injury

Abstract

Objectives: To identify ocular trauma trends and to analyze how initial uncorrected visual acuity (VA) is associated with mechanism of injury (MOI) in a referral hospital in Indonesia.
 Methods: A five-year medical chart review at the Ophthalmology Emergency Department (OED) Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital (DSGAH). The information retrieved included sex, age, laterality involvement, initial uncorrected VA, MOI and management. Sex- and age- adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the relationship between poor initial uncorrected VA and MOI, using multivariate logistic regression analysis.
 Results: A total of 953 patients consisted of 80.3% males and 19.9% females. Ocular trauma predominantly occurred in 21–30 years age group (20.9%). May and November were found to have the highest average number of monthly patients. Closed globe injuries (80.3%) were more prevalent than open globe injuries (17.7%). The most frequent MOIs were sharp objects (311; 32.6%), followed by blunt objects (236; 24.8%). Most cases (89.2%) displayed unilateral involvement and 54.3% cases showed an initial uncorrected VA of better than 6/18. Compared to road dust, blunt object, sharp object and traffic accident were significantly associated with poor initial VA, with adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of 5.24 (2.27-12.10), 4.03 (1.76-9.25) and 8.17 (3.31-20.15), respectively.
 Conclusions: Initial uncorrected VA and MOI provide earlier information regarding the prognosis. Traffic accident showed a greater tendency to cause a poor initial uncorrected VA. Most ocular trauma is preventable by educating people at risk to avoid common MOIs and to use protection.

“…Pasien hemodialisa (HD) memiliki risiko tinggi mengalami kelainan mata, seperti kalsifikasi kornea dan konjungtiva (CCC) dan katarak (Widjaja et al, 2022). Kelainan mata pada pasien HD dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien.…”

“…Kelainan mata pada pasien HD dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien. Namun, penelitian dan data terkait pola kelainan mata pada pasien HD di Indonesia sangat terbatas (Widjaja et al, 2022). Masalah prioritas terkait pemeriksaan mata pada pasien HD di rumah sakit adalah pentingnya melakukan pemeriksaan mata secara rutin untuk mendeteksi kelainan mata sejak dini.…”

“…Beberapa faktor yang dapat meningkatkan risiko komplikasi mata pada pasien hemodialisis: Penyakit ginjal kronis: Pasien hemodialisis memiliki risiko lebih tinggi mengalami komplikasi mata karena hubungan antara ginjal dan mata (Zahra, 2022). Diabetes: Diabetes adalah penyebab umum penyakit ginjal kronis dan dapat meningkatkan risiko komplikasi mata pada pasien hemodialisis (National Kidney Kurangnya kesadaran: Beberapa pasien hemodialisis mungkin tidak menyadari potensi komplikasi mata yang berhubungan dengan penyakit ginjal, terutama diabetes (Widjaja et al, 2022). Hipotensi selama hemodialisis: Hipotensi selama hemodialisis dapat menyebabkan komplikasi mata (Zahra, 2022).…”

Hifema Traumatika : Laporan Kasus

“…Darah ini berasal dari iris atau badan siliar yang robek. 8 Menurut Duke Elder (1954), hifema disebabkan oleh robekan pada segmen anterior bola mata yang kemudian dengan cepat akan berhenti dan darah akan diabsorbsi dengan cepat. Hal ini disebut dengan hifema primer.…”

A neglected case of blunt eye injury leading to pediatric cataract: a lifetime consequence case report

“…4 According to the previous study, the incidence of ocular trauma was estimated to be 46,488 cases per year among 34 provinces in Indonesia. 5 Children in rural areas are more likely to be affected by ocular trauma while playing without supervision and most of the incidence occurred in boys. 1 A Pediatric traumatic cataract is defined as a permanent opacification of the lens caused by penetrating or blunt trauma to the eye.…”
