چکیده انگلیسی


• Over the years several attempts have been made to link pseudoexfoliation syndrome to a number of serious systemic diseases.
• The present study shows no difference in life span between persons with and without pseudoexfoliation in our cohort.

BackgroundTo compare life span of persons with and without ocular pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES).MethodsThe study is based on an epidemiological survey conducted in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway, in 1985–86. All inhabitants over 64 years of age (2109 individuals) were invited. Mortality information was obtained from The Norwegian Institute of Public Health in 2014, by which time 99% of the participants were deceased.ResultsWhen adjusting for age and gender, life span was not statistically different in persons with and without PES. Following the diagnosis of PES, patients' survival was up to, and beyond, 30 years.ConclusionsOur observations suggest that, despite all the systemic aberrations reported in persons with ocular PES, none or only marginal functional changes are caused in extraocular organs and tissues. The present study supports the notion that systemic PES is not a life-threatening condition.
