Cataract is the leading cause of blindness. About 90% of cataract blindness occurs in low- and middle-income countries. The prevalence of blindness and low vision in any country depends on the socioeconomic status, the availability of medical and healthcare facilities, and the literacy of the population.
This paper aims to estimate the cataract surgery rate (CSR) at Pusat Pembedahan Katarak, MAIWP-Hospital Selayang (Cataract Operation Centre), and provide descriptive assessments of the patients who received eye treatments in the center.
The data were retrieved from the clinical database from 2013 to 2016. Information on the patient's sociodemographic and clinical and treatment history was collected.
The cataract surgery rate for 2013 was about 27 and increased to 37.3 in 2014. However, it declined to 25 in 2015 before it resumed to 36 in 2016. For female patients who received eye treatments at Pusat Pembedahan Katarak, MAIWP-Hospital Selayang, the rate was higher (53.7%) compared to male patients (46.3%). The mean duration of cataract surgery from 2013 to 2016 was 21.25 ± 11.071 min.
The increased cataract surgery rate for MAIWP-HS through smart partnerships for day care cataract surgery proved that better accessibility makes the short- and long-term strategies for the reduction and prevention of blindness in Malaysia possible to achieve.
白内障是导致失明的主要原因。约90%的白内障致盲病例发生在低收入和中等收入国家。任何国家的失明和视力低下患病率取决于社会经济状况、医疗和保健设施的可及性以及人口的识字率。
本文旨在估算马来西亚国际眼外伤与白内障中心（MAIWP - 士拉央医院白内障手术中心）的白内障手术率（CSR），并对在该中心接受眼部治疗的患者进行描述性评估。
数据取自2013年至2016年的临床数据库。收集了患者的社会人口统计学、临床和治疗史信息。
2013年的白内障手术率约为27，2014年增至37.3。然而，2015年降至25，之后在2016年又恢复到36。在马来西亚国际眼外伤与白内障中心、MAIWP - 士拉央医院接受眼部治疗的女性患者比例（53.7%）高于男性患者（46.3%）。2013年至2016年白内障手术的平均时长为21.25 ± 11.071分钟。
通过日间白内障手术的智能伙伴关系，MAIWP - HS的白内障手术率有所提高，这证明更好的可及性使得马来西亚减少和预防失明的短期和长期战略得以实现。
