Abstract :
<p>Retinal vein Occlusion (RVO) is the second most common Retinal Venous disorder [1, 2, 3] and mostly affects the patients in 4th and 5th decade. The most important risk factors for RVO are systemic vascular disorders like Hypertension,Arteriosclerosis, Hyperlipidemia and Diabetes[4, 5]. Aim: To study the association of RVO with systemic disorders (hypertension, dyslipidemias including hyperlipidemias and diabetes) in a tertiary care hospital in rural setting. Results: The study was conducted on 234 patients of RVO who visited retina clinic.Mean age of the patients was 46+5.6years. Age(mean age= 49+3.7years and sex (M:F=4:5) matched 250 controls were taken. RVO was most commonly associated with hypertensioni.e. 70.51 %( n=165) which was about 20% more than in control group (50.40%, p =0.05).Diabetes was present in 14.95 %(n= 35) of RVO cases which was about 10% more than in the control group (n=12; p value=0.01). Dyslipidemias were present in 28.20% (n=66) cases with RVO which was 12.5% more than in the control group (n=39, p value=0.01). Conclusions In the present study,hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia were present in 70.51%, 14.95% and 28.20% cases of RVOrespectively. RVO can thus be prevented by primary prevention and control of these risk factors with early diagnosis and treatment.</p>
