Abstract

To determine number, demographic characteristics and presenting symptoms of patients admitted to Emergency ophthalmologic department of Zagreb University hospital centre. Prospective analysis of data of 743 patients admitted to Emergency ophthalmologic department of University hospital centre Zagreb during period of 10 month. Main presenting symptoms at admission were red eye, pain and foreign body sensation. 64% of all patients admitted to emergency unit were male. Almost 40% of them were between 20 and 40 years of age. In female population majority is between 50 and 60 years old (19.33%). The study shows that the most frequent reason for admission in emergency ophthalmic unit is red eye, pain and foreign body sensation. These symptoms were present most frequently in young male patients. Considering fact of their working ability, data can suggest that they don't comply with occupational safety measures. Further research in this direction is needed.

Utvrditi broj, demografske karakteristike i prezentirajuće simptome bolesnika primljenih u hitnu oftalmološku ambulantu KBC Zagreb. Prospektivna analiza podataka 743 bolesnika primljenih u hitnu oftalmološku ambulantu KBC Zagreb tijekom razdoblja od 10 mjeseci. Najčešći simptomi kod prijema su bile crvene oči, bol i osjećaj stranoga tijela. 64% svih bolesnika primljenih u hitnu jedinicu su bili muškarci. Gotovo 40% njih su bili između 20 i 40 godina života. U ženskoj populaciji većina je između 50 i 60 godina (19,33%). Studija pokazuje da su najčešći razlozi dolaska u hitnu oftalmološku ambulantu crvene oči, bol i osjećaj stranoga tijela. Ovi simptomi su bili prisutni najčešće u mladih muških bolesnika. Uzevši u obzir njihovu radnu sposobnost, dobiveni podatci mogu ukazati da se ne pridržavaju mjera sigurnosti na radu. Daljnja istraživanja u tom smjeru su potrebna.
