ABSTRACT
AIM: To analyze the causes of blindness and low vision in patients with visual disability in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2019 to 2022.METHODS:Cross-sectional study. A total of 1 604 patients who participated in the evaluation of visual disability in Shanghai Yangpu District Kongjiang Hospital, from April 2019 to December 2022 were selected for the study. The grade of visual disability and the main causes of blindness and low vision were determined by trained doctors.RESULTS:A total of 804 patients with visual disabilities were identified, with 87.31% aged 60 and above. The causes of visual disability were high myopic retinopathy(30.47%), age-related macular degeneration(23.26%), glaucoma(17.04%), and diabetic retinopathy(11.07%). Glaucoma(36.96%)is the leading cause of blindness.CONCLUSION: The majority of patients with visual disability are aged 60 years and above. More attention should be paid to the elderly population. Comprehensive prevention, treatment and rehabilitation measures should be applied in different diseases based on classification, so as to early reduce the occurrence of visual disability.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the prevalence,and the factors that influence depressive symptoms among chronic respiratory disease patients in tertiary hospital.Methods:A total of 1713 outpatients and inpatients with chronic respiratory disease were selected from 8 tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province from July to September,2014 and screened according to the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale-D (HADS-D).A questionnaire developed by this research group,was used to collect demographic and clinical information.Logistic regression was used to identify factors that were associated with depressive symptoms.Results:The overall rate of depressive symptoms was 46.0％.Multiple logistic analysis showed that spinsterhood (OR ＝ 0.45),higher education level (middle school /high school/technical school OR ＝0.65;college degree or aboveOR ＝0.28),BMI ≥24 (OR ＝0.71) were associated with decreased risk of depressive symptoms (P ＜ 0.05).B MI ＜ 18.5 (OR ＝ 1.52,),average income of family ≥10000 RMB (OR ＝ 1.37-1.96),limited daily activities (OR ＝ 1.72),poorer sleep quality (OR ＝ 1.45),and negative life events (OR ＝ 1.62) were associated with increased risk of depressive symptoms (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:The prevalence of depressive symptoms among chronic respiratory disease patients in tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province was higher.Marital status,education level,income,BMI,limited daily activities,subjective sleep quality,negative life events may be the related factors of depressive symptoms of chronic respiratory diseases patients.
