Abstract
Our aim was a) to compare serum Hcy levels in patients with RVO and population-based controls, and b) to evaluate whether hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for RVO.Prospective case-control study of all patients diagnosed with RVO at a tertiary-care hospital, and age-and sex-matched controls taking part in a population-based prospective cohort in the same geographic area. Differences in serum Hcy between both groups were analyzed by a general linear model adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, tobacco use and alcohol intake. Besides, we tested the relationship between hyperhomocysteinemia (> 15 µmol/L) and RVO, by a stepwise logistic regression analysis.
