Clinical spectrum of pseudoexfoliation syndrome-An electronic records audit.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate different clinical variants of pseudoexfoliation syndrome and their risk of developing ocular hypertension (OHT) or glaucoma (PXG).

Design

Cross sectional hospital based study.

Setting

All patients seen at glaucoma services of a tertiary eye care center in east India.

Methods

Electronic medical records search of hospital database including consecutive new and old cases seen during April 2013 to March 2015 was done to retrieve case sensitive words including pseudoexfoliation, PXF, PEX, PXG and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma over any part of the clinical electronic sheet of the patient. All demographic and clinical details including laterality, the pattern of deposits, need for medicines and disc damage at presentation was compared in eyes with radial pigmentary, classical or combined forms of PXF phenotypes.

Results

Of 110313 PXF patients seen during the period of 2013-2015, a total of 2297 eyes of 1150 PXF patients were identified including 525 unilateral PXF (meaning a total of 1775 PXF eyes with 625 patients having bilateral disease, n = 1250 eyes, other clinically normal eye, n = 522) at presentation. Of 525 unilateral PXF eyes, 105 had OHT and 131 had glaucoma while bilateral cases had more >50% (675 eyes of 1250 eyes) with glaucoma. Glaucoma with significant changes in IOP with or without disc damage was seen in 32% of pigmentary and 39% of classical PXF forms with eyes with combined forms of PXF having around 50% with glaucoma at presentation compared to other forms, p<0.001.

Conclusion

Different phenotypic variants of PXF in this Indian cohort was associated with 30-50% risk of OHT or glaucoma respectively. Adequate care is required while examining the pattern of PXF in each case to prognosticate each patient/eye.

Project description:BackgroundHepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is among the leading causes of hospitalization and mortality in patients with chronic liver disease.ObjectiveTo assess the HRS patient journey from preadmission to postdischarge to understand patient characteristics, disease progression, treatment patterns, and outcomes.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study using real-world data from a nationwide electronic health record database (Cerner Health Facts, Kansas City, Missouri). We used ICD-9/10 diagnosis codes to identify patients hospitalized with HRS between January 1, 2009, and January 31, 2018. We assessed patient characteristics and history, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes. Regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between patient characteristics and survival while adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates.ResultsThe study included 3563 patients (62% men). Precipitants of HRS included gastrointestinal bleeding (18%), diuretics and infections (30%), and paracentesis (26%). Although 21% of patients had liver injury exclusively associated with alcohol use, 20% had hepatitis C, 8% had nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and the etiology of the remainder (51%) was either some combination of conditions or unknown. A total of 42% of patients received vasopressors, including octreotide and midodrine (10%), other combinations of vasopressors (11%), or another single vasopressor (21%). In-hospital mortality was 34%, and 14% of patients were discharged to hospice. Regression analysis showed patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure had higher mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure grades 1 (odds ratio = 1.59), 2 (odds ratio = 2.49), and 3 (odds ratio = 4.53) versus no acute-on-chronic liver failure. Among survivor patients, 38% were readmitted within 90 days of discharge; 23% of readmissions were HRS-related.ConclusionsThe HRS patient journey presented in this study highlights inconsistencies in, and provides insight into, associated hospital-based treatment strategies. A mortality rate of 34% along with a readmission rate of 23% associated with HRS-related complications warrant more disease awareness and effective treatment. Further research is needed to examine the interactions between the etiology of cirrhosis, precipitants, treatment, and outcomes. (Curr Ther Res Clin Exp. 2022; 82:XXX-XXX).
