Abstract
AIM: To analyze the spectrum characteristics of hospitalized patients with lacrimal duct obstruction diseases ( LDOD ) and evaluate the prevalence and risk factors. <br> METHODS: In this retrospective review, the medical data of 578 hospitalized patients ( 709 eyes ) with LDOD, including age, gender, ethnicity, occupation, long-time living area, past surgical history, past eye-lid trauma history, ocular inflammation, nasal diseases and occlusion location were analyzed. <br> RESULTS:The age of LDOD patients was among 6mo~72 years, average 39. 7±8. 42 years. Gender ratio was 1:1.66 (217:361) between male and female. On ethnicity, 64.2% of subjects were Han, 22. 3% of subjects were Hui, 11. 3% of subjects were Dongxiang, and 2. 2% of subjects were other minority ethnicity. On occupation, 62. 5% of subjects were peasants, 17. 0% of subjects were workers, 7. 1% of subjects were drivers, while other occupations took 14. 4% parts in total. On long-time living area, about 61. 3% of subjects lived in rural area, 23. 7% of subjects lived in town, and rest 15. 1% lived in city. On past surgical history, 87. 5% of subjects never underwent surgery, about 10. 6% of subjects underwent surgery, including 1. 9% underwent more than one time. Among all patients about 4. 0% of subjects had past eye- lid trauma history. Occlusion mostly located in nasolacrimal duct, lacrimal duct, canalicular and punctum. <br> CONCLUSION:The etiology of LDOD is multifactorial, has characteristics on age, gender, ethnicity, occupation, ocular inflammation, nasal diseases and other factors. A better understanding of the association between ethnicity and LDOD by epidemiology investigation may help its prevention and treatment in ethnic minority areas.关键词
