摘要

背景与目的病理性近视(PM)是全球致盲的主要原因之一,其发病率随着时间的推移而迅速上升。本研究的目的是调查上埃及阿西尤特市临床人群在一年内PM的患病率。患者和方法这项横断面研究是在2018年1月至12月期间对上埃及阿西尤特市一家大型眼科中心的临床人群进行的。所有患者均接受了全面的眼科检查。使用自动折射仪测量非环肌麻痹性屈光。如果被检查的眼睛的折射率大于或等于−6 D球面当量或轴向长度大于或等于25.5,则被诊断为PM 结果本研究包括812例患者中的1548眼。病理性近视152眼,患病率9.82%。在纳入的患者中,102名(12.6%)患者至少有一只病理性近视眼。双侧PM患者73例(71.6%)。它们的折射误差范围为−6.0至−26.0 D,平均值为−13.24±4.13 D,平均轴长为28.2±2.14 毫米,范围从26.1到35.2 结论研究样本中PM的患病率为9.82%,与其他人群相比明显升高。有必要进行进一步的大型社区研究,以确定其流行率,作为克服这一真正负担的一步。

Prevalence of pathological myopia in Upper Egypt
Background and aim Pathological myopia (PM) is one of the main causes of blindness globally, and its prevalence continues to increase rapidly over time. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of PM in the clinical population in Assiut City, Upper Egypt, during a period of 1 year. Patients and methods This cross-sectional study was carried out on a clinical population attending a large ophthalmology center in Assiut City, Upper Egypt, during the period from January to December 2018. All patients were subjected to full ophthalmologic examination. The noncycloplegic refraction was measured using an autorefractometer. The examined eyes were diagnosed as PM if they had refraction of more than or equal to −6 D spherical equivalent or an axial length of more than or equal to 25.5 mm. Results The study included 1548 eyes of 812 patients. Pathologically myopic eyes represented 152 eyes, with a prevalence of 9.82%. Of the total included patients, 102 (12.6%) patients had at least one pathologically myopic eye. Patients with bilateral PM represented 73 (71.6%) cases. Their refractive error ranged from −6.0 to −26.0 D, with a mean of −13.24±4.13 D, and their mean axial length was 28.2±2.14 mm and ranged from 26.1 to 35.2 mm. Conclusion The prevalence of PM in the studied sample was 9.82%, which was obviously higher compared with studies on other populations. Further large community-based studies are warranted to determine its prevalence as a step to overcome this true burden.
