AIM: To retrospectively analyze the clinical change of retinal vein occlusion inpatients of the Second People's Hospital of Foshan in the nearby five years.

METHODS: The data of inpatients in the Second People's Hospital of Foshan were collected by the term “retinal vein occlusion”from 2013-01-01 to 2017-12-31. Retrospective analysis of the details for the disease.

RESULTS: Totally 351 patients with retinal vein occlusion were admitted and treated for 473 times in five years. Elder with systemic disease(hypertension, diabetes and renal inadequacy)was more common. The hospital days were significantly statistical difference among five years with the shortest days in 2017. The prevalence of RVO was growing year by year, especially for BRVO, with statistical difference between 2017 and the other four years(P<0.005). Treatments for RVO were mainly including retinal laser, intravitreal injection or both combined. There was significantly statistical difference about the rate of intravitreal injection among five years(P<0.05)with the lowest one in 2013.“1+PRN” therapeutic regimen was more tolerable for patients than “3+PRN”.

CONCLUSION: BRVO is growing more sharply than CRVO in the nearby five years. Retinal laser combined with“1+PRN”intravitreal injection is the main therapeutic regimen for RVO in our hospital.
