Associated factors with pseudophakic retinal detachment: Long-term follow-up in a Colombian population.

OBJECTIVE: To identify associated factors with the appearance of pseudophakic retinal detachment in patients with history of cataract surgery. METHODS: Retrospective case-control study of 802 eyes of 783 patients with history of cataract surgery. Cases were patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment (n = 258 eyes), while controls were patients with cataract surgery who did not developed retinal detachment during a 10-year follow-up period (n = 544 eyes). RESULTS: Age at cataract surgery among cases was lower than in the control group (57 ± 13 vs. 67 ± 14 years old, respectively; p < 0.0001). Age at retinal detachment was 59 ± 13 years old (range 6-88) and the time between the cataract surgery and the retinal detachment had a median of 2 years (interquartile range 1-4) with a range of 1 month to 14 years. Associated factors for pseudophakic retinal detachment were younger age (<50 years: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 18.03, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 5.92-54.87; 50-59 years: aOR = 10.09, 95%CI = 3.37-30.23; and 60-69 years: aOR = 5.48, 95%CI = 1.88-15.93), male sex (aOR = 3.71, 95%CI = 2.54-5.44), anterior vitrectomy (aOR = 3.26, 95%CI = 1.16-9.16), history of retinal detachment in the fellow eye (aOR = 6.95, 95%CI = 3.15-15.31), and intraoperative complications during cataract extraction (aOR = 7.45, 95%CI = 3.54-15.69). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of associated factors with pseudophakic retinal detachment in a Colombian population. Surgical complications, sex, and age were found to be associated with retinal detachment. Patients should be aware of these potential risks to make informed decisions about their eye health.

Prevalence of traffic rule infractions in Cali, Colombia, at sites where injury crashes occurred.

This study aim to determine the proportion of traffic rule infractions in Cali, Colombia, in places where a road traffic injury (RTI) occurred. Description of videotaping of sites where a person was injured in an RTI in 2009. Counts of road users and infractions were established for each road user group and were compared using a Z-test. They were found 13,491 users, distributed as follow: 8.9% were pedestrians, 4.6% cyclists, 24.6% motorcyclists, and 61.8% were automobile drivers. The most frequent traffic violation among motorcyclists was transiting on lines designated for other vehicles (55.2%). Among cyclists, the most frequent violations were transiting without a helmet (99.2%) and not wearing the designated vest (100%). Among pedestrians, crossing streets at prohibited places (77.3%), even at sites where a pedestrian bridge was present (72.7%), represented two common violations. Vulnerable road users committed more traffic infractions than automobile drivers (p < 0.001). High rates of traffic rule infractions among vulnerable road users were observed. Studies to better understand the occurrence of these behaviours and the promotion of effective interventions are warranted.

Factores asociados al desprendimiento de retina pseudofáquico: seguimiento a largo plazo en una población colombiana / Associated factors with pseudophakic retinal detachment: Long-term follow-up in a Colombian population

Objetivo Identificar factores asociados a la aparición de desprendimiento de retina pseudofáquico en pacientes con antecedente de cirugía de catarata. Métodos Estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles de 802 ojos de 783 pacientes con antecedente de cirugía de catarata. Los casos fueron pacientes con desprendimiento de retina pseudofáquico (n=258 ojos), mientras que los controles fueron pacientes con cirugía de cataratas que no desarrollaron desprendimiento de retina durante un período de seguimiento de 10 años (n=544 ojos). Resultados La edad de la cirugía de cataratas entre los casos fue menor que en el grupo control (57±13 vs. 67±14 años, respectivamente; p<0,0001). La edad al desprendimiento de retina fue de 59±13 años (rango 6-88) y el tiempo entre la cirugía de catarata y el desprendimiento de retina tuvo una mediana de 2 años (rango intercuartílico 1-4), con un rango de un mes a 14 años. Los factores asociados para el desprendimiento de retina pseudofáquico fueron la edad más joven (<50 años: razón de probabilidad ajustada [ORa]=18,03; intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC 95%]=5,92-54,87; 50-59 años: ORa=10,09, IC 95%=3,37-30,23 y 60-69 años: ORa=5,48, IC 95%=1,88-15,93), sexo masculino (ORa=3,71, IC 95%=2,54-5,44), vitrectomía anterior (ORa=3,26, IC 95%=1,16-9,16), antecedentes de desprendimiento de retina en el ojo contralateral (ORa=6,95, IC 95%=3,15-15,31) y complicaciones intraoperatorias durante la extracción de cataratas (ORa=7,45, IC 95%=3,54-15,69). Conclusiones Este es el primer artículo de factores asociados al desprendimiento de retina pseudofáquico en población colombiana. Se encontró que las complicaciones quirúrgicas, el sexo y la edad estaban asociados con el desprendimiento de retina. Los pacientes deben ser conscientes de estos riesgos potenciales para tomar decisiones informadas sobre su salud ocular (AU)
