“…We observed a consistent gradient for age and the risk of mortality for the oldest age group (>90 years) was four times that of the youngest age group (HR 4.05; 95%CI 3.60 to 4.55; p<0.001). A second factor related to an 10 increased risk was comorbidity, with patients who had a grouped CCI indicative of mild comorbidity having a risk of mortality that was 1.6 times that of patients with no comorbid conditions (HR 1.59; 95% CI 1.50 to 1.69; p<0.001). Patients with severe comorbid disease showed a hazard that was twice that of patients who had no comorbidity (HR 2.04; 95% CI 1.94 to 2.14; p<0.001).…”

“…5 Even though cataract surgery may reduce the risk of mortality up to fifteen years postoperatively, 6,9 follow-up data beyond two decades does not appear to be available and a need for further research, in particular longerterm studies has been highlighted in the literature. 10,11 With cataract surgery rates varying substantially across geographic areas 2,12,13 and all cause mortality varying by geographic location, 14 greater health inequalities have been reported for populations older than 65 years living in remote rural areas as compared to urban areas. 15 There are also considerable differences in mortality rates, which have been linked to socioeconomic factors, in different geographic areas in Scotland.…”

Effect of individual-level and socioeconomic factors on long-term survival after cataract surgery over a 30-year period.

The aim was to evaluate survival and risk of mortality after cataract surgery in relation to individual-level and socioeconomic factors in Scotland over three decades. SETTINGHospital episodes, Scotland, United Kingdom. DESIGNRetrospective representative population-based study of administrative health care data. METHODSA 5% random sample (n=9,228) of Scottish decedents linked to hospital records (1981 to 2012) was analysed. Survival time, survival probability, and determinants of mortality were analysed for first and second recorded hospital episodes for cataract surgery. Cox proportional hazards regression models

“…Ob z. B. Katarakt, AMD und PEX-Syndrom Indikatoren für eine Verkürzung der Lebenserwartung sind, ist noch nicht abschließend geklärt, aber es gibt Hinweise darauf [12][13][14][15]. Schließlich sollte nicht ganz vergessen werden, dass sehr selten einmal eine vom Ophthalmologen indizierte systemische Therapie, wie z.…”
