Factors associated with decompression and strabismus surgery in thyroid eye disease

Abstract

Introduction: Prognostication of the thyroid patient with eye disease aids in the choice of treatment strategy. To facilitate this, we investigated factors associated with decompression and/or strabismus surgery in the Singaporean population. Materials and Methods: A 5-year retrospective study was performed. Patients who required strabismus and/or decompression surgery (n = 23) were compared to those who did not undergo either surgery (n = 44). Individual and multivariate age-adjusted odds ratios were calculated to determine significant associations. Results: Individually, male gender [odds ratio (OR), 4.5; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.5 to 13.4], uncontrolled hyperthyroidism (OR, 4.0; 95..
