Purpose:
|
To determine the prevalence and trend of inpatient and outpatient cataract surgery and its determinants during 2006-2010
|
Methods:
|
The centers were selected from all provinces of Iran using multistage randomized cluster sampling. In each province, the number of cataract surgery centers was determined proportionate to the number of cataract operations in the province and the charts of the cataract patients who underwent surgery in each center were selected proportionate to the number of cataract operations in the center
|
Results:
|
of 106 cataract surgery centers, 23020 charts were reviewed. The prevalence of outpatient surgery increased from 46.0% (95% CI 35.3-56.8) in 2006 to 51.4% (95% CI 40.2-62.7) in 2010 (p=0.549). The duration of hospital stay was more than one night in 10.5% (95% CI 6.9-14.1) of the operations. The method of phacoemulsification and topical anesthesia increased and intraoperative complications decreased the prevalence of outpatient cataract surgery
|
Conclusion:
|
Despite the 5% increase in outpatient cataract surgery in Iran, it is not considerable with regards to the increase in the use of methods like phacoemulsification and the available facilities in the country
