Abstract
Objective: To study factors associated with poor vision outcome after treatment of open globe injury.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study involving patients who admitted at ophthalmology unit
of Thungsong hospital, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, due to open globe injury during January 1, 2009
to December, 31 2016. Visual acuity was measured before and after treatment. Apart from descriptive
study, uni-variable and multivariable regression analysis were performed for association analyses between
the factors and visual outcome.
Results: Initially 125 cases were enrolled, however; 59 complete-data cases were included in multivariable
analysis. Most cases were male (83.2 %), 20-49 years old (59.2 %). Among those in multivariable analysis,
41 (69.5 %) and 18 (30.5 %) case were improvement and poor visual outcome, respectively. Adjusted
odds ratio (95 % CI) of age ≥ 50 years old for poor visual outcome was 4.18 (1.06, 16.51). Area under ROC
curve (95 % CI) of age group for non-improvement prediction was 0.74 (0.62, 0.87).
Conclusion: Age 50 years old and over is a factor associated with poor visual outcome after eye injury
