Abstract

AIMS

This study was designed to document the changing trends in ophthalmic surgery in acute public hospitals in the Republic of Ireland over the years 1994 to 2001.

METHOD

We obtained Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) data returned from the major acute public hospitals to the Economic and Social Research Institute. We searched for cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, strabismus, corneal transplant and repair of perforating injuries of the globe.

RESULTS

There was a 24% increase in the total number of the searched operations occurring during the study period, from 8,857 procedures in 1994 to 11,005 in 2001. In 2001, cataract surgery alone counted for 82% of all procedures performed. There was a large increase in cataract (49%) and vitreo-retinal procedures (41%) reported between 1994 and 2001. Conversely, a large fall in trabeculectomy (67%), strabismus (63%) and corneal transplant (52%) procedures occurred during the study period.

CONCLUSION

These data suggest that surgical numbers in ophthalmology in Ireland are increasing and the relative proportions are changing.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在记录1994年至2001年间爱尔兰共和国急性公立医院眼科手术的变化趋势。

方法

我们获取了主要急性公立医院向经济和社会研究所提交的医院住院病人查询（HIPE）数据。我们查找了白内障、青光眼、视网膜脱离、斜视、角膜移植以及眼球穿孔伤修复手术的相关数据。

结果

在研究期间，所查询手术的总数增加了24%，从1994年的8857例手术增加到2001年的11005例。2001年，仅白内障手术就占所有手术的82%。1994年至2001年间，白内障手术（增长49%）和玻璃体视网膜手术（增长41%）的报告数量大幅增加。相反，在研究期间，小梁切除术（下降67%）、斜视手术（下降63%）和角膜移植手术（下降52%）的数量大幅下降。
