Clinical and epidemiological aspects of patients undergoing post-uveitis cataract surgery
Keywords:
UVEITIS, CATARACT, VISUAL ACUITY, CORNEAL EDEMA.Abstract
Introduction: the incidence and prevalence of cataract as a complication associated to uveitis has been a subject little approached in Cuba and especially in the province of Santiago de Cuba.
Objective: to characterize post-uveitis cataract patients according to clinical and epidemiological variables.
Methods: observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, in a population of 22 patients (22 eyes) operated of postuveitis cataract, ophthalmologic center General Hospital "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso", Santiago de Cuba, period January 2017 to February 2020. Variables such as age, sex, etiology of uveitis, trans and postoperative complications, as well as pupillary dilation achieved in the surgical act were analyzed. Mean, standard deviation and percentage were used as summary measures. Non-parametric correlation coefficients Pearson's c, Theil's U, Kendall's Tau-c and Spearman's Rho were used to determine possible association between variables under study.
Results: the greatest number of patients who underwent cataract surgery were women 60 years of age and older with non-infectious etiology of uveitis. Transoperative complications were minimal and posterior capsule rupture prevailed. Immediate postoperative complications were the most frequent and included mild swelling and corneal edema of varying degrees. Age and postoperative best corrected visual acuity were not associated in the studied population.
Conclusions: post-uveitis cataract is an important cause of decreased visual acuity with high incidence and prevalence worldwide.
