The incidence of retinal detachment in New Zealand is not currently documented in the literature. This study sought to determine the annual incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and associated risk factors in northern New Zealand.
Epidemiological and clinical data were collected for all patients presenting with a RRD in a 12-month interval in a confined geographical area of New Zealand.
One hundred and forty-one patients presented between May 1997 and April 1998 with a RRD. Five patients presented with bilateral RRD. The mean age at presentation was 53.9 years and the annual incidence for RRD was 11.8 cases per 100,000 people. RRD was more common in males than in females (1.3:1). Ocular trauma, high myopia and cataract extraction were found to be significant risk factors in the development of RRD.
The annual incidence of RRD in northern New Zealand is comparable to values reported for other parts of the world and, consistent with previous studies, the incidence of RRD was found to increase with age, and in association with trauma, high myopia and cataract surgery.
目前新西兰视网膜脱离的发病率在文献中尚无记载。本研究旨在确定新西兰北部孔源性视网膜脱离（RRD）的年发病率及相关危险因素。
收集了在新西兰一个限定地理区域内12个月期间所有RRD患者的流行病学和临床数据。
1997年5月至1998年4月期间有141例患者出现RRD。5例患者为双侧RRD。发病时的平均年龄为53.9岁，RRD的年发病率为每10万人11.8例。RRD在男性中比女性更常见（1.3:1）。眼外伤、高度近视和白内障摘除被发现是RRD发生的重要危险因素。
新西兰北部RRD的年发病率与世界其他地区报道的值相当，并且与先前的研究一致，发现RRD的发病率随年龄增长而增加，且与外伤、高度近视和白内障手术有关。
