Open Globe Injuries

Purpose: To investigate the possible risk factors and prognosis of initial no light perception (NLP) in pediatric open globe injuries (POGI). Procedures: This retrospective, comparative, interventional case-control study included 865 eyes of POGI patients presenting to a tertiary referral ophthalmic center from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2015. Eyes were divided into two groups: NLP group included eyes with initial NLP, and light perception(LP) group included eyes with initial LP or vision better than LP. Results: The following risk factors were significantly related to initial NLP: severe intraocular hemorrhage (OR=3.287, p=0.015), retinal detachment (RD) (OR=2.527, p=0.007), choroidal damage (OR=2.680, p=0.016) and endophthalmitis (OR=4.221, p＜0.001). Choroidal damage is related to remaining NLP after vitreoretinal surgery (OR=12.384, p=0.003). At the last visit, more eyes in the NLP group suffered from silicone oil–sustained status (OR=0.266, p=0.020) or ocular atrophy (OR=0.640, p=0.004), and less eyes benefitted from final LP (OR=41.061, p＜0.001) and anatomic success (OR=4.515, p＜0.001). Conclusion: Severe intraocular hemorrhage, RD, choroidal damage and endophthalmitis occurred more often in POGI with initial NLP. Choroidal damage was the major factor related to an NLP prognosis. Traumatized eyes with initial NLP could be anatomically and functionally preserved by vitreoretinal surgery.

Abstract Background Although the equitable distribution of diabetic retinopathy (DR) services across Ghana remains paramount, there is currently a poor understanding of nationwide DR treatment services. This study aims to conduct a situation analysis of DR treatment services in Ghana and provide evidence on the breadth, coverage, workload, and gaps in service delivery for DR treatment. Methods A cross-sectional study was designed to identify health facilities which treat DR in Ghana from June 2018 to August 2018. Data were obtained from the facilities using a semi-structured questionnaire which included questions identifying human resources involved in DR treatment, location of health facilities with laser, vitreoretinal surgery and Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (Anti-VEGF) for DR treatment, service utilisation and workload at these facilities, and the average price of DR treatment in these facilities. Results Fourteen facilities offer DR treatment in Ghana; four in the public sector, seven in the private sector and three in the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) centres. There was a huge disparity in the distribution of facilities offering DR services, the eye care cadre, workload, and DR treatment service (retinal laser, Anti-VEGF, and vitreoretinal surgery). The retinal laser treatment price was independent of all variables (facility type, settings, regions, and National Health Insurance Scheme coverage). However, settings (p = 0.028) and geographical regions (p = 0.010) were significantly associated with anti-VEGF treatment price per eye. Conclusion Our results suggest a disproportionate distribution of DR services in Ghana. Hence, there should be a strategic development and implementation of an eye care plan to ensure the widespread provision of DR services to the disadvantaged population as we aim towards a disadvantaged population as we aim towards a universal health coverage.
