Risk Factors of Glaucoma in Diabetes
Keywords:
Diabetes, Glaucoma, Risk factorsAbstract
Glaucoma is one of the causes of blindness worldwide. The disease which correlates with the prevalence of glaucoma is diabetes. Even though glaucoma is found to be more prevalence in diabetes patients than in general population but nowadays there is no glaucoma screening procedure in diabetes patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of glaucoma in diabetes patients. This study was cohort study in 16,733 diabetes patients who were 18 years old and above that were registered for the out-patient department of ophthalmology at Lampang Hospital from 1 January 2012 – 31 December 2018. This study collects data from Electronic medical record and analysis tools are STATA version 13 for prevalence and association between risk factors of glaucoma and diabetes. Statistic parameters are multiple logistic regressions and Fisher's exact test.
In this study found the prevalence of glaucoma was 623 people (3.7 percent). Sex had association with prevalence of glaucoma by male was 308 people (4.2percent). In the patients who were 65 years old and above, the association with glaucoma prevalence is the most which was 360 people (4.5 percent). From the analysis methods found that risk factors of glaucoma in diabetes who were 65 years old and above are sex and history of steroid used. These two factors have statistically significant p-value which less than 0.05 in risk factors of glaucoma. Prevalence of glaucoma in male is greater than in female 1.48 times. And diabetes who had history of steroid eye drop used have the prevalence of glaucoma greater than those without history of steroid eye drop used 1.82 times.
