AIM:To investigate the disease proportion,gender,age distribution and nationality(Uygur) and their changes in the hospitalized patients with glaucoma.METHODS:Totally 2953 cases in our hospital from January 2005 to January 2010 were classified by their diagnosis,including acute primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG) and chornic PACG,primary open angle glaucoma(POAG),congenital glaucoma(CG) and secondary glaucoma(SG).Age,gender and nationality distribution were calculated and their proportion and feature of changes were analyzed.RESULTS:Of all the cases 54.6% were PACG,while 15.2%,2.3% and 27.9% of them were POAG,CG and SG respectively.The proportion of PACG trended to decrease(63.1%-54.1%)while that of POAG reached peak time in 2007-01/2008-01(21.0%).The proportion of SG trended to increase(23.9%-33.5%) while that of CG trended to be stable.The proportion of Uygur patients trended to increase(23.0%-35.3%) in PACG,it trended to increase(7.8%-26.7%) in POAG as well.The proportion fluctuated in CG and it was stable in SG.Among the patients less than 40 years old,the proportion of Uygur male patients trended to increase in PACG and POAG,the proportion of the Uygur female patients trended to increase in POAG,but trended to decrease in PACG.While among the patients over 40 years old,the proportion of the Uygur female patients trended to increase in PACG year by year.CONCLUSION:PACG is still the main part of hospitalized patients with glaucoma in our country.However,the prevention and treatment of SG are also important.In Xinjiang,glaucoma proportion of Uighur hospitalized patients gradually increases.For Uygur female over 40 years,PACG must be screened,while POAG can not be ignored,Uygur male,female groups under the age of 40 are prevention focus of PACG.
