Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify the prevalence of ophthalmic diseases seen in the emergency department of a specialized center in Brazilian Center-Western area. METHODS: This is a retrospective transverse observation study based on patients chart who were seen at Ophthalmic Reference Center (CEROF), Federal University of Goiás,Goiânia (GO) Brazil, between april, 2009 to march, 2010. Age, gender, origin, ocular and associated systemic diseases were identified. RESULTS: 2105 charts were analyzed. The age of patients ranged between 15-29 years-old (30.2%), 30-39 years-old (20.9%) and 40-49 years-old (14.9%), with a 34.3 years-old on average. Male gender were more frequent than females (64.8% vs 35.2%). The majority of patients live in Goiania (80.7%) and the remaining (19.3) came from other cities in the county area or from other states in Brazil. Ocular dust was the leading cause for medical attendance, followed by infectious conjunctivitis (23.6%), keratitis and cornea ulcer (11.3%), tumors of the eyelids or the orbit (7.2%), dry eyes (4.7%), and blepharitis (3.8%). Ocular trauma occurred in a 6.3% of patients. CONCLUSION: Ocular diseases in patients presenting at the emergency department of an ophthalmic reference center in the Center-Western area have a similar prevalence as in other centers in Brazil. Most of them can be treated in common health facilities and don't need to be referred to specialized centers. These centers should deal with more complex problems, saving costs and time.
TUJUAN: Untuk mengidentifikasi prevalensi penyakit oftalmologi yang ditemukan di departemen gawat darurat pusat rujukan khusus di wilayah Barat-Tengah Brasil. METODE: Ini merupakan studi observasional potong lintang retrospektif berdasarkan rekam medis pasien yang diperiksa di Pusat Rujukan Oftalmologi (CEROF), Universitas Federal Goiás, Goiânia (GO) Brasil, antara April 2009 hingga Maret 2010. Usia, jenis kelamin, daerah asal, penyakit mata, dan penyakit sistemik terkait diidentifikasi. HASIL: Sebanyak 2.105 rekam medis dianalisis. Usia pasien berkisar antara 15–29 tahun (30,2%), 30–39 tahun (20,9%), dan 40–49 tahun (14,9%), dengan rerata usia 34,3 tahun. Pasien laki-laki lebih banyak ditemukan dibandingkan perempuan (64,8% vs 35,2%). Mayoritas pasien tinggal di Goiânia (80,7%) dan sisanya (19,3%) berasal dari kota-kota lain di wilayah pedalaman atau dari negara bagian lain di Brasil. Benda asing okular merupakan penyebab utama kunjungan medis, diikuti oleh konjungtivitis infeksi (23,6%), keratitis dan ulkus kornea (11,3%), tumor palpebra atau orbita (7,2%), mata kering (4,7%), dan blefaritis (3,8%). Trauma okular terjadi pada 6,3% pasien. KESIMPULAN: Penyakit okular pada pasien yang datang ke departemen gawat darurat pusat rujukan oftalmologi di wilayah Barat-Tengah memiliki prevalensi yang serupa dengan pusat rujukan lain di Brasil. Sebagian besar kasus dapat ditangani di fasilitas kesehatan umum dan tidak perlu dirujuk ke pusat spesialis. Pusat rujukan ini seharusnya menangani masalah yang lebih kompleks guna menghemat biaya dan waktu.
