Abstract

Purpose. Integrated assessment of ophthalmogeriatric changes in patients with the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at the time of primary diagnosis.Material and methods. 200 senior and senile patients aged 60 or more (of which 43.5% were male) with the newly diagnosed wet AMD underwent a standard ophthalmological examination, took a survey aimed at identifying specific risk factors, and tested for Body Mass Index (BMI) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI).Results. The BMI was 29.46 ± 4.1 kg/m2 and the CCI was 3.3 [2; 4]. The average number of disorders per patient with AMD was 4.0 [2; 6] (ranging from 1 to 7). Polypragmasia took place in 8% of cases. Degenerative changes in the conjunctiva were found in 11%, arcus senilis — in 34.55%, dystrophic changes of the iris — in 68%, pseudoexfoliation syndrome — in 17.5%, senile cataract — in 89.5%, degenerative changes of the vitreous — in 84.5%, primary open-angle glaucoma — in 2% of cases. No gender differences were revealed in these indicators. Among systemic diseases, the most frequent were cardiac and cerebrovascular pathologies (arterial hypertension — 74.5%, ischaemic heart disease — 40.5%, cerebrovascular pathology — 20.5%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was found in 6.5% of AMD patients.Conclusion. The wet form of AMD is characterized by a wide range of comorbid disorders that can affect the development and progression of the main disease. Polypragmasia plays its own role in this progression.
