“…The mean age of our patients was 24.26±1.81 SE years (range: 3-79 years), which was younger than in most previous reports [15][16][17][18] but similar to reports from Egypt, Iran and the southern part of Turkey. [6][7][8]19] The majority of workers were male, which may explain the lower mean age in the female group.…”

“…In addition to cultural habits, socioeconomic status and education have a role in both the occurrence and outcomes of the injury. [5][6][7][8][9] This study retrospectively analyzes the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors and visual outcome of patients with open globe injuries presenting to the Department of Ophthalmology, Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Turkey. Kocaeli is located in the northwest part of Turkey, which is both an agricultural and important industrial center.…”

AMAÇTürkiye'nin kuzeybatı bölgesinde, açık göz yaralanmaları nedeni ile tedavi edilen hastaların epidemiyolojisi ve gör-me sonuçları değerlendirildi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM2004 ve 2008 yılları arasında Kocaeli Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalın'da açık göz yaralanması nedeni ile tedavi edilen tüm hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. BULGULARYaşları 3 ile 79 arasında değişen, 95 hastanın 95 gözüne ait yaralanmalar değerlendirildi. Açık göz yaralanması tipi, 76 gözde (%80), laserasyon, 19 gözde (%20) ise yırtık idi. Sıç-rayıcı cisimlerin neden olduğu göz yaralanmaları, tüm yaş gruplarında en sık görülen nedendi. Keskin cisimler 18 yaş ve üzerindeki hastalarda açık göz yaralanmalarının en az gö-rülen nedeni iken (%11), 18 yaştan genç hastalarda, en sık görülen nedendi (%38,1) (p=0,01). On sekiz yaşından genç hastalarda yaralanmaların %68,3'ü evde gerçekleşirken, 18 yaş ve üzerindeki hastalarda yaralanamaların %59,2'sinin iş-yerinde gerçekleştiği belirlendi (p=0,000). Görme keskinliğindeki düzelmenin, izole zon 1 yaralanmalarında, diğer zon yaralanmalarına göre daha iyi olduğu görüldü (p=0,043). SONUÇTürkiye'nin kuzeybatısında açık göz yaralanmaları, yaş ve cinsiyete göre değişmektedir. Eğitim ve güvenlik önlemleri, açık göz yaralanmalarının önlenmesinde önemlidir.

“…2 Several clinical features like male sex, size of the corneal tear, lens rupture, presence of intraocular foreign body, time taken for intervention, and rural background have been identified as risk factors for development of PTE in adults. [3][4][5] Children are not 'small adults' and management strategies used for adults cannot be directly applied to pediatric cases. Even the clinical features, microbiological profile, and response to treatment are known to differ from adults.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe clinical features, risk factors, causative organisms, treatment options, and outcomes of post-traumatic endophthalmitis in children and adolescents. Methods Retrospective interventional case series. Case records of 143 consecutive eyes presenting with post-traumatic endophthalmitis between 1997 and 2007 were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analysis were done to analyze factors associated with adverse outcomes. Results Mean age at presentation was 9.2 years (median 8 years, range: 2 months to 18 years). Broomstick and hypodermic needle were most common causes for injuries. Common presenting features were cataract (n = 51), hypopyon (n = 45) and retinal detachment (n = 29). Corneal abscess (n = 21; OR: 5, CI: 1.4-18.7) and retinal detachment (n = 29, OR: 5, CI: 1.6-11.3) were independent risk factors for poor outcome (P = 0.04 and 0.012, respectively). Gram-positive bacteria were isolated in 54% (n = 31) of culture-positive cases. Forty-nine (34%) patients had ambulatory vision at final visit. Patients who received treatment within 24 h were 3.6 and 9 times more likely to have better anatomical outcome than those treated at 2-7 days, or 47 days, respectively (P = 0.0001). Patients undergoing early vitrectomy were 27 times more likely to have better outcome (P = 0.0001). Conclusion Post-traumatic endophthalmitis in children is more common in boys o10 years of age and most often caused by injury with organic matter. Corneal abscess and retinal detachment are associated with poor outcome. E. fecalis is the most common causative organism. Early vitrectomy results in better outcomes.

“…[ [12][13][14][15][16][17] Lack of eye protection was the major risk factor in this group as none of our patients were using protective eyewear at the time of injury. Metallic IOFBs have been reported in 60% to 91% of open globe injuries.…”
