CHARACTERISTICS OF RETINAL DETACHMENT PATIENTS AT PROF. dr. I GOESTI NGOERAH GDE NGOERAH GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2021 – 2023

Abstract

Retinal detachment is a common complication of myopia. It occurs when the neurosensory layer of the retina detaches from the back of the eye, depriving the retina of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to tissue death and can result in permanent vision loss. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional type. Total sampling was used as the sampling technique. Data was collected using medical records of patients at Prof. dr. I Goesti Ngoerah Gde Ngoerah General Hospital in 2021-2023. Data processing was done using SPSS version 29. The study was conducted on 85 retinal detachment patients at Prof. dr. I Goesti Ngoerah Gde Ngoerah General Hospital during 2021-2023. Most patients were male (69.41%). The most common age group was 50-60 years (38.8%). The most common etiology was unknown (51.8%). The predominant type of retinal detachment was rhegmatogenous (70.6%). The most common detachment location was the temporal area (61.7%). The most common morphology was a break (68.3%). Laterality was more common in the Oculus Dexter (OD), with a percentage of 47.1%. The most common visual acuity severity was NLP – 1/300 (62.4%). The most frequently performed procedure was Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV), with a percentage of 92.9%. The study concludes that the majority of retinal detachment patients at Prof. dr. I Goesti Ngoerah Gde Ngoerah General Hospital during 2021-2023 was male, aged 50-60 years, with unknown etiology, rhegmatogenous type, temporal detachment location, break morphology, unilateral Oculus Dexter (OD) laterality, visual acuity severity of NLP – 1/300, and managed with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
