目的:了解成都地区原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)患者≥40 岁的一级亲属青光眼患病情况,研究家族史这一危险因素在POAG发病中的作用。方法:病例对照研究。选取2014 年2 月至2015 年10 月期间在华西医院确诊的99 例POAG患者为先证者,其≥40 岁的一级亲属290 例作为病例组。同期来院行白内障手术(无其他合并眼部疾病)的105 例患者,其≥40 岁的一级亲属355 例作为对照组。分别进行问卷调查和青光眼筛查。采用t 检验、卡方检验,多元Logistic回归等进行统计学分析。结果:①病例组总患病率高于对照组(10.7% vs . 1.4%,χ2=26.090,P <0.001)。②病例组女性青光眼患病率高于对照组女性青光眼患病率(11.7% vs . 1.6%,χ2=15.203,P <0.001),病例组男性青光眼患病率也高于对照组男性青光眼患病率(9.8% vs . 1.2%,χ2=11.098,P <0.001)。③按年龄(<50 岁、50~59岁、60~69岁、≥70岁)分层,在<50岁、50~59岁、≥70岁这3个年龄亚组,病例组青光眼患病率均明显高于对照组(χ2=14.328、4.919、6.959,P <0.05)。④在调整年龄和性别的影响后,病例组患病风险是对照组的8.45倍(95%CI:3.24~22.06),其中病例组中子女患病风险为对照组的11.53倍(95%CI:2.45~54.26)。⑤92.1%的POAG患者一级亲属无青光眼筛查意识。结论:POAG患者≥40岁以上的一级亲属患病风险明显高于其他人群,绝大多数POAG患者一级亲属缺乏进行青光眼筛查的意识。
Objectives:To study the prevalence of glaucoma in first-generation relatives (FGRs) of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG),and to identify the likelihood of family history as a risk factor for the presence of POAG.Methods:In this case control study,290 FGRs of 99 patients who were diagnosed with POAG in West China Hospital from February 2012 to October 2013 were enrolled (POAG-related group).FGRs (n=355) of 105 cataract patients were also enrolled (control group).Both groups were matched for sex and age (40 years or older).All participants were asked to complete a questionnaireand undergo a comprehensive eye examination.A chi-square test,t-test,and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.Results:The FGRs of patients with POAG had a greater prevalence of glaucoma than the controls (10.7% vs.1.4%,x2=26.090,P<0.001).There was a greater prevalence of glaucoma in females (11.7% vs.1.6%,x2=15.203,P<0.001) and in males (9.8% vs.1.2%,x2=11.098,P<0.001) in the FGRs of patients with POAG compared with the controls.For three different age groups,<50,50-59,and ≥ 70 years of age,the FGRs of patients with POAG had a greater prevalence of glaucoma than did the controls (x2=14.328,4.919,6.959,P<0.05).The calculated odds ratio (OR) for the characteristics associated with glaucoma were strong when adjusted for age and gender [OR=8.45 (95% confidence interval:3.24-22.06)],and offspring [OR=1 1.53 (95% confidence interval:2.45-54.26)] had an obvious association with POAG.Most of the FGRs of patients with POAG,92.1%,had no awareness of the need for glaucoma screening.Conclusions:Our study shows that the FGRs of patients with POAG are at high risk for having POAG,and a family history of glaucoma is associated with the presence of glaucoma.The FGRs of patients with POAG should be made more aware of the need for glaucoma screening.
