“…Other studies on trauma epidemiology confirm a male predominance, with a male : female ratio varying between 1.25 and 5.5. 3,14,18,19 The male : female ratio in this study was 1.42. This may reflect the more aggressive characteristics of male behaviour even in childhood aged.…”

Purpose To assess the prognostic value of a new ocular trauma score (OTS) in pediatric penetrating injuries. Methods Children r15 years of age that presented to the emergency room with penetrating eye injuries between April 2007 and August 2008 were evaluated prospectively. All patients were reviewed on the basis of age, gender, time of injury and how it happened, time of admission, time of surgery, type of penetrating injury, initial and final visual acuity (VA), and concomitant eye pathology. Injuries were classified based on a new OTS, and we assessed the relationship with final VA and the new OTS.

“…A higher OTS score is typically associated with a better prognosis. 4,9,19,26 In this study we used the POTS in pediatric penetrating eye injuries (Table 2); it is similar to the OTS, but not the same. We classified injuries using that score and assessed relationship of the final VA and the POTS.…”

“…The results of the United States Eye Injury Registry (USIER) showed that 13% of the eye injuries were due to recreation or sports; and they were characteristic of young people under 30 and males [3]. Similarly, Cillino et al [4] found that sport activities were one of the causes of eye injury in men (17.5%), while in women the prevalence was more homerelated or outdoor activities. Most of these injuries are considered preventable [3][4][5].…”

Changes in the Incidence of Eye Trauma Hospitalizations in the United States From 2001 Through 2014

IMPORTANCE Eye trauma is a common cause of vision loss and a substantial public health problem.OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in the incidence of eye trauma hospitalizations in the United States and compare the demographics of affected patients and outcomes of eye trauma as a primary or secondary admitting diagnosis. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis retrospective longitudinal cohort study used the National Inpatient Sample, a representative sample of all US community hospitals, to determine the incidence, characteristics, and causes of primary and secondary inpatient eye trauma admissions from 2001 through 2014. All inpatients with relevant diagnoses were included. Linear regression was used to estimate changes in incidence. Logistic regression was used to compare demographics and outcomes between primary and secondary diagnoses, including age, sex, race, income, primary payer, region, year of admission, length of stay, cost, and disposition at discharge. EXPOSURES Eye trauma.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incidence and characteristics of inpatient primary and secondary eye trauma. RESULTSFrom 2001 to 2014, there were an estimated 939 608 inpatient admissions (of whom 556 886 were male patients [59.3%]; overall mean [SD] age, 49.4 [25.2] years) in the United States because of eye trauma diagnoses, with 778 967 of these (82.9%) as a secondary diagnosis. The incidence of primary eye trauma decreased from 3.9 to 3.0 per 100 000 population (difference, 0.9 [95% CI, 0.2-1.6] per 100 000 population; P = .001). The incidence of eye trauma as a secondary admitting diagnosis increased from 14.5 to 19.0 per 100 000 population (difference, 4.5 [95% CI, 1.9-7.2] per 100 000 population; P = .004). This was largely attributed to an increasing number of falls in individuals older than 65 years. The most frequent diagnosis was orbital fracture (64 149 [39.9%]) for primary trauma and contusion of eye and adnexa (19 301 [37.8%]) for secondary trauma. Primary trauma was more common in children (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.21 [95% CI, 2.09-2.32]) and adolescents (aOR, 1.25 [95% CI,) than adults (reference), African American individuals (aOR, 1.89 [95% CI, 1.81-1.97]) and Hispanic individuals (aOR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.45-1.59]) than white individuals, and uninsured patients (aOR, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.07-1.22]) and those receiving Medicaid (aOR, 1.12 [95% CI, 1.05-1.19]) than Medicare beneficiaries. Patients with a primary diagnosis were more likely to have a stay of less than 3 days (patients with a primary diagnosis: 101 796 [63.4%]; secondary diagnosis: 274 538 [35.2%]), more likely to have costs in the lowest quartile (patients with a primary diagnosis: 51 212 [31.9%]; secondary diagnosis: 166 260 [21.3%]), and less likely to die (patients with a primary diagnosis: 526 [0.3%]; secondary diagnosis: 20 929 [2.7%]).CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that the increasing number of falls in individuals older than 65 years and the high risk of primary eye trauma in populations such as children and adolescents warrant the devel...
