Study Finds Elevated Risk of Mortality in Individuals with Glaucoma
A new population-based study published in the journal of Advances in Therapy revealed that individuals diagnosed with glaucoma may face a significantly higher risk of death and stroke when compared to their peers without the eye disease.
The research analyzed health data from more than 56,000 adults aged 50 and older over a 3-year period, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- 14,138 individuals with newly diagnosed glaucoma in 2017
- 42,414 age- and sex-matched individuals without glaucoma from January 1, 2017, to February 1, 2020
The primary focus was overall survival, while secondary outcomes included the incidence of major cardiovascular events like stroke, heart attack, and peripheral arterial disease.
