The association between CEIOL and falls and hip fractures has been described, but there is a paucity of literature describing the association between CEIOL and various other common morbidity and mortality-increasing age-related traumatic injuries.</p> <p>Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized TriNetX, a health database, to access de-identified electronic medical records. Cohorts of patients aged 60 years and older were identified using diagnostic and procedural codes. Cohort 1 was defined as patients with age-related cataracts who underwent CEIOL within 10 years of documented diagnosis of cataracts. Cohort 2 was defined as patients with age-related cataracts who did not undergo CEIOL within 10 years of documented diagnosis of cataracts. Propensity score matching for demographics and other relevant comorbidities was completed. Chi-square analysis was performed, and data were reported as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Outcomes analyzed included proximal humerus fracture, distal radius fracture, hip fracture, ankle fracture, fall, subdural hemorrhage, and epidural hemorrhage.</p> <p>Results: Patients who underwent CEIOL demonstrated significantly lower odds of falls (p &lt; 0.0001), proximal humerus fracture (p = 0.016), distal radius fracture (p = 0.0004), hip fracture (p &lt; 0.0001), ankle fracture (p = 0.0002), subdural hemorrhage (p &lt; 0.0001), and epidural hemorrhage (p = 0.006) as compared to patients with a documented diagnosis of age-related cataract without CEIOL.</p> <p>Conclusions: CEIOL was significantly associated with decreased falls and reductions in major fall-related injuries among patients with age-related cataracts. These findings strongly support improved screening protocols to detect vision loss secondary to age-related cataracts, as this may decrease the incidence of common major fall-related injuries among patients with age-related cataracts.</p> <p>Keywords: age‐related cataracts; cataract extraction; traumatic injury.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-resource-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field-label">Author/s:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even">Caitlin M Hackl, Brady P Moore, Imanouel M Samai, Brian R Wong</div> </div> </div> Wed, 19 Mar 2025 21:36:18 +0000 Erin Blanchette 2589 at https://www.rpr.lib.ok.us
