Ten-year incidence of retinal emboli in an older population is likely underestimated
April 21st, 2006
Researchers have investigated the 10-year incidence of retinal emboli and its predictors in an older population. The purpose of a study in Australia was "to assess 10-year incidence of retinal emboli and its predictors in an older population. Survivors of 3654 Blue Mountains Eye Study participants {{>=}}49 years of age were re-examined 5 and 10 years later." S. Cugati and colleagues at the University of Sydney wrote, "Incident emboli were assessed from retinal photographs. Cumulative 10-year incidence was 2.9% (95% CI, 2.1% to 3.6%) among 2361 at risk. Age was associated with incident emboli (Ptrend =0.0001). After multivariate...
