The incidence of acute closed-angle glaucoma was studied in 1796 patients derived from the hospital discharge registry of Finland for the years 1973-1982 (469 males and 1327 females). The average incidence was 3.8 cases/100,000 per year. The incidence showed a steep rise with age. The highest incidence was observed in both sexes in the group 80 years of age and older. The incidence was higher (Chi-square 7.81, df = 1, P less than 0.01) among women (5.3/100,000 per year) than among men (2.0/100,000 per year). The age-adjusted incidence for the whole period of 1973-1982 showed no statistically significant rise. The seasonal variation of incidence was statistically significant (P less than 0.001). In winter (December, January, February) and in autumn (September, October, November) the incidences were higher compared to spring (March, April, May) and summer (June, July, August). This association was greater (P less than 0.001) among females than among males (P less than 0.05). Mean sunshine hours showed a reverse association with the incidence of acute glaucoma. The association was statistically significant when both sexes were pooled together (P less than 0.001). There was no sex interaction with regard to the association of incidence of acute glaucoma and mean sunshine hours.
对1973 - 1982年间芬兰医院出院登记处的1796名患者(469名男性和1327名女性)进行了急性闭角型青光眼发病率的研究。平均发病率为每年3.8例/10万。发病率随年龄急剧上升。80岁及以上年龄组的男性和女性发病率最高。女性(每年5.3/10万)的发病率高于男性(每年2.0/10万)(卡方值7.81,自由度 = 1,P < 0.01)。1973 - 1982年整个期间经年龄调整后的发病率没有统计学上的显著上升。发病率的季节性变化具有统计学意义(P < 0.001)。与春季(3月、4月、5月)和夏季(6月、7月、8月)相比,冬季(12月、1月、2月)和秋季(9月、10月、11月)的发病率更高。女性中的这种关联比男性更强(P < 0.001)(男性中P < 0.05)。平均日照时长与急性青光眼的发病率呈负相关。将男女合并在一起时,这种关联具有统计学意义(P < 0.001)。急性青光眼发病率与平均日照时长之间的关联不存在性别交互作用。
