目的:建立一种预测2岁以下接受白内障手术的儿童术后轴向长度(AL)的模型。
方法:温州医科大学附属眼科医院,杭州,中国设计:回顾性研究。
方法:仅在手术前和手术后至少1年可获得AL数据时才纳入儿童。眼睛被分成假晶状体,无晶状体,和不受影响的眼群。分析了可能影响轴向生长的变量,并建立了多变量广义估计方程回归模型来预测术后AL。
结果:纳入190例患者的333只眼。我们观察到未受影响的眼组年龄和AL之间的对数线性相关,AL=(2.7924×月龄对数)+17.607,R2=0.6596。同时,白内障眼的GEE模型可写为:术后AL=6.4080.611×(基线AL)0.007×(基线年龄)--0.006(基线年龄)×(随访年龄)--0.391×手术系数。年龄是按月记录的,AL以毫米记录。
结论:AL的评估是先天性白内障患者成功术后治疗的最重要部分之一。这项研究建立了接受白内障手术的≤2岁先天性白内障儿童的AL估计公式。该模型理论上可用于预测接受白内障手术的儿童的个体未来AL。
OBJECTIVE: To develop a model for predicting postoperative axial length (AL) in children undergoing cataract surgery younger than 2 years of age.
METHODS: The Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Hangzhou,
China DESIGN: Retrospective study.
METHODS: Children were included only if AL data were available before surgery and at least 1 year after surgery. Eyes were divided into pseudophakic, aphakic, and unaffected eye groups. Variables that could influence axial growth were analyzed and a multivariable generalized estimating equation regression model was developed to predict postoperative AL.
RESULTS: 333 eyes from 190 patients were included. We observed a logarithmic linear correlation between age and AL in the unaffected eye group, AL = (2.7924 × log of age in months) + 17.607, R2 = 0.6596. Meanwhile, The GEE model of eyes with cataracts can be written as follows: Postoperative AL = 6.408 + 0.611 × (baseline AL) + 0.007 × (baseline age) - -0.006 (baseline age) × (age at follow-up) - -0.391 × coefficient of surgery. The ages were recorded in months, the ALs were recorded in millimeter.
CONCLUSIONS: The assessment of AL is one of the most important parts of successful postoperative management in congenital cataract patients. This study established an AL estimate formula for children aged ≤ 2 years with congenital cataract who underwent cataract surgery. This model theoretically could be used to predict individual future AL for child undergoing cataract surgery.
