Characterization of patients with dry eye disease from distinguished ophthalmology clinic in Medellín, Colombia. (English)
- Abstract:
Background: Dry eye disease has been defined by DEWS II as a multifactorial entity in which tear film homeostasis is altered. Objective: To characterize patients with dry eye disease evaluated in the dry eye unit of Clínica de Oftalmología Sandiego. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective cohort study. Information was collected from patients who consulted the dry eye unit in the period from March 2016 to December 2017 and who were diagnosed with dry eye disease. The results of qualitative and quantitative tests, as well as the dry eye symptoms questionnaire, were documented. Results: In 107 patients' diagnosis of dry eye disease was confirmed, 86 patients (80.4%) were women. The median age was 53 years (38-69). Evaporative dry eye was present in 64.5%, aquodeficient 12.2% and mixed 23.4%. OSDI questionnaire score was above 33 in 67 patients (62.6%). Tear osmolarity was altered in 78.5%. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 was positive in 76.6%. Conclusion: Carrying out clinical and laboratory tests as well as the application of symptom questionnaires are useful in the diagnosis of dry eye. Furthermore, this comprehensive approach helps to classify the clinical subtype and recognize the frequency of associated risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: La enfermedad de ojo seco ha sido definida como una entidad multifactorial en la cual se pierde la homeostasis de la película lagrimal. Objetivo: Caracterizar a los pacientes con enfermedad de ojo seco atendidos en la unidad de ojo seco de la Clínica de Oftalmología Sandiego. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de cohorte retrospectiva. Se documentaron pruebas cualitativas, cuantitativas, cuestionario OSDI y tipo de ojo seco de los pacientes que consultaron en el periodo de marzo de 2016 a diciembre de 2017 con diagnóstico confirmado de enfermedad de ojo seco. Resultados: En 107 pacientes se confirmó el diagnóstico de ojo seco, 80.4% fueron mujeres. La mediana de edad fue 53 años (38-69). El 64.5% tenía ojo seco evaporativo, 12.2% acuodeficiente y 23.4% mixto. El OSDI fue mayor a 33 en 67 pacientes. La osmolaridad lagrimal y la MMP-9 estuvieron alteradas en 78.5 y 76.6%, respectivamente. Conclusión: La realización de pruebas clínicas, laboratorio y cuestionarios de síntomas, permiten realizar el diagnóstico integral de la enfermedad ojo seco según las recomendaciones del DEWS II, apoyando la clasificación del mismo, reconocimiento de factores de riesgo y planteamiento de posibles etiologías que ayudan en el tratamiento.
