Sažetak
To report the prevalence of undiagnosed glaucoma, as well as demographic characteristics and risk factors among glaucoma suspects who were detected in a publicly promoted intraocular pressure (IOP) based glaucoma screening event. Methods A total of 2468 subjects older than 18 years participated in the glaucoma screening event in Zagreb, in 2014, which included a medical interview and IOP measurement using Icare tonometer. 256 subjects (10.37%) were identified as glaucoma suspects, out of which 125 (5.06%) subjects underwent further detailed ophthalmic examination and were classified into five diagnostic groups. Results The prevalence of all types of newly diagnosed glaucoma was 1.175%, while the prevalence of ocular hypertension (OH), primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), primary angle closure (PAC) and secondary glaucoma (SG) was 0.16%, 0.89%, 0.16% and 0.12%, respectively. The prevalence of newly diagnosed glaucoma in glaucoma suspects was 23.2%. 17.60% of glaucoma suspects were diagnosed as POAG. Older age was statistically significantly associated with POAG (p = 0.001) and PAC (p = 0.029). At the univariate level, refractive errors were a statistically significant predictor of POAG, and those with hyperopia had more than three times larger odds for POAG. At the multivariate level, none of the predictors reached statistical significance.
