Dynamics of the structure and regional profile of eye damage in children

Purpose : to study the dynamics of the structure and regional profile of eye injuries in children for 2018—2022 based on materials from the Tashkent Medical Institute pediatric ophthalmology department. Material and methods . A retrospective analysis of the situational reporting documentation was carried out according to the leading diagnosis according to the ICD 10 classifier. Results . The analysis showed that every fourth child (27.2%) was h ospitalized with eye injury or its complications. Most often, children aged 5 to 14years (61.0—64.5%) sought help, with boys predominating (62.6%). Children applied from all regions of the republic, most often from Tashkent (47.9—60.1%) and Kashkadarya (10.3—13.3%) regions. The structure of eye injuries and their complications has not changed over 5 years: the leading positions were occupied by penetrating wounds of the eyeball and contusions. Complications included scars and corneal opacities, cataracts, endophthalmitis, and secondary glaucoma. Conclusion . Currently, all age groups of children are vulnerable to injury. This dictates the need for widespread activation of injury prevention, accessible emergency high-tech care, taking into account the identified dynamics of the structure and regional profile of eye injuries in children.
