Abstract
To determine prognostic factors for open-globe Injuries (OGI). Open-globe injuries referred to a tertiary referral clinic in Turkey between January 1998 and January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to find out the most important variables for poor visual outcome. Six hundred and thirty-three patients were studied with an average age of 24.37 ± 11.1 years (range 1-80).The male/female ratio was 18.6/1. Most of the cases (48.2%) were conflict related, whereas the rate of work, accidental, and sports related cases were (33.1%), (17.9%) and (0.01%), respectively. Final visual acuity (VA) ranged from no perception of light (23%) to 200/200 (17.1%). The number of cases with a final VA > 20/200 were 388 (49.3%). Initial visual acuity < 20/200, ocular trauma score category 1, zone 3 injury, additional vitrectomy surgery, and lens damage were found to be the main variables related with poor visual outcome in multivariate logistic regression analysis. Besides ocular trauma score category and initial VA; zone of injury, additional surgeries, and initial lens damage had negative effects on visual outcome in OGI.
