RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder in which the Type 1 collagen is defective. The eye is a structure rich in collagen Type 1 and is heavily impacted by the disease. Many vision-threatening eye diseases have been associated with OI. The onset of these diseases also tend to occur at an earlier age in individuals with OI. Despite the research on these risks, appropriate ophthalmological screening or care guidelines for individuals with OI remain unknown. As such, the purpose of this scoping review was to explore and describe existing ophthalmological screening and care guidelines to orient OI patient care. MAIN BODY: A scoping review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology was conducted. A search of databases (PubMed and Medline) was completed in consultation with a research librarian. A total of 256 studies were imported for screening. Primary sources matching the inclusion and exclusion criteria were screened, extracted, and analyzed using Covidence. CONCLUSION: A total of 12 primary articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria, containing case reports, case series and cohort studies. Despite the risk of blindness associated with the consequences of OI on the eye, the primary literature fails to provide detailed screening and care guidelines aimed at identifying disease early. We provide general recommendations based on the review findings to guide the ophthalmological care of patients with OI and call upon the experts to convene globally to create screening guidelines. Further investigations of ophthalmological screening are warranted to limit these vision-threatening risks with early detection and treatment. Standardized ophthalmological screening guidelines for OI remain an area for research.

BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary disease caused by affected collagen type 1. Collagen type 1 is an important structural component of the eye. Ocular manifestations in OI are described in literature, but little is known about the risk of eye diseases in OI. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk of eye diseases in OI. DESIGN: A Danish nationwide register-based cohort study based on data from the Danish National Patient Register. PARTICIPANTS: All patients registered with an OI diagnosis between January 1977 and December 2018 matched 1:5 with a reference population on gender and birth month and birth year. MEASUREMENTS: Incidence rates (IR) per 1000 patient years and sub-hazard ratio (SHR) for any eye disease, corneal diseases, cataract, refraction disorders, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal detachment, retinopathy, angiopathy, retinal haemorrhage, retinal degeneration, retinal changes, optic nerve disorders, and traumatic eye lesions. RESULTS: We identified 907 OI patients (493 women) and 4535 persons (2465 women) in the reference population. The IR for any eye disease was 4.07 [95% CI 3.41-4.85] in the OI cohort and 1.96 [95% CI 1.89-2.12] in the reference cohort. The two diseases with highest incidence was cataract (2.41 [95%CI 1.93-3.03] vs 1.29 [95% CI 1.12-1.47], SHR 1.76 [95% CI 1.34-2.33]) and glaucoma (1.08 [95% CI 0.77-1.51] vs 0.42 [95% CI 0.33-0.54], SHR 2.33 [95% CI 1.55-3.53]). The absolute risk of most other eye diseases was low, but the SHR indicated a higher risk in the OI cohort compared to the reference group showing statistically increased risk of refractive disorders, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal detachment or ruptures, other retinal diseases (i.e., retinopathy, angiopathy, retinal haemorrhage, degeneration, retinal changes), and optic nerve disorders. Corneal diseases and traumatic eye lesions were not statistically significantly increased in OI-patients. CONCLUSION: Patients with OI have a higher risk of cataract, refractive disorders, glaucoma, vitreous haemorrhages, retinal detachment/ruptures, retinal diseases, and optic nerve disorders.
