To evaluate the effect of night shifts on the biomechanical properties of the cornea using Scheimpflug camera-based imaging (Corvis and Pentacam).
Thirty-four participants from the medical staff who had at least six night shifts per month as a case group and fifty-two participants as a control group participated in the study. The biomechanical characteristics of the cornea using the Corvis device and the topographical characteristics of the cornea using the Pentacam device were investigated in the participants.
The main indices of corneal biomechanics including Corvis Biomechanical Index (0.17 ± 0.18 vs. 0.15 ± 0.14; = 0.66 [adjusted] and 0.66 [unadjusted]) and Tomographic and Biomechanical Index (0.16 ± 0.19 vs. 0.14 ± 0.19; = 0.78 [adjusted] and 0.63 [unadjusted]) were not significantly different between case and control groups.
Our study showed that night shifts do not independently affect corneal biomechanical indices.
使用基于Scheimpflug相机的成像技术(Corvis和Pentacam)评估夜班对角膜生物力学特性的影响。
以每月至少值六次夜班的医务人员中的34名参与者作为病例组,52名参与者作为对照组参与本研究。对参与者使用Corvis设备研究角膜的生物力学特征,并使用Pentacam设备研究角膜的地形特征。
病例组和对照组之间,角膜生物力学的主要指标,包括Corvis生物力学指数(0.17±0.18对0.15±0.14;校正后P = 0.66,未校正P = 0.66)和断层扫描与生物力学指数(0.16±0.19对0.14±0.19;校正后P = 0.78,未校正P = 0.63)无显著差异。
我们的研究表明,夜班不会独立影响角膜生物力学指标。
