Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dryeye symptoms in the Swedish population using a web-basedversion of the ocular surface disease index (OSDI).Aweb-basedversionoftheOSDIquestionswasimplementedin an online form using a software developed by Artologik. Thelink to the form was distributed via Linnaeus University socialmedia pages. Basic demographic information such as age, sexand county of residence was also collected.A total of 404 complete responses were received, 303 respon-dents (75%) were females, the median age = 39 (interquartilerange = 28–53) years, median OSDI-score = 19 (interquartilerange = 9–32). Crude prevalence of dry eye symptoms (cate-gories mild to severe) was 65% (95% CI = 62–75). The differencein prevalence between males and females was statistically sig-nificant (chi-square test,p=0.007).The current study found that the prevalence of dry eye symp-toms among a sample of the Swedish population was 65%.These results highlight the need to investigate further the preva-lence and risk factors for dry eye disease in the Swedish population.

[NO] Symptomer på tørre øyne ved bruk avOcular Surface Disease Index i Sverige: enkort rapport fra en pilotstudieSammendragFormålet med studien var å undersøke prevalens av symptomerpå tørre øyne i den svenske befolkning ved hjelp av en net-tbasert versjon av ocular surface disease index (OSDI).OSDI spørsmålene ble satt inn i et skjema på internett vedhjelp av programvare utviklet av Artologik. Lenken til skjemaetble sent ut via Linnéuniversitetets sosiale media. Bakgrunnsin-formasjon som alder, kjønn og hjemstedsfylke ble også registr-ert.Totalt ble 404 fullstendige svar mottatt, 303 (75%) respon-denter var kvinnelige, median alder = 39 (interkvartilområde= 28–53) år, median OSDI-score = 19 (interkvartilområde = 9–32). Prevalens av symptomer på tørre øyne (kategorier milde tilalvorlige) var 65% (95% CI = 62–75). Forskjellen i prevalens mel-lom kvinner og menn var signifikant (khikvadrattest,p= 0.007).Denne studien fant at prevalensen av symptomer på tørreøyne blant et utvalg av Sveriges befolkning var 65%. Disse re-sultatene belyser behovet for videre undersøkelse av prevalensog risikofaktorer for tørre øyne i den svenske befolkning.

Sintomatologia da occhio secco utilizzandol’Ocular Surface Disease Index in Svezia:un breve report da uno studio pilotaRiassuntoLo scopo di questo studio e’ stato quello di investigare laprevalenze della sintomatologia da occhio secco nella popo-lazione svedese utilizzando una versione online dell’ocular sur-face disease index (OSDI).E’ stata utilizzata una versione online dell’OSDI in un for-mato implementato nel software “Survey and report” svilup-pato da Artologik. L’indirizzo online e’ stato distribuito graziealle pagine di social media dell’Universita’ Linnaeus. Anche leinformazioni sulla demografia di base come eta’, sesso e regionedi residenza sono stato raccolte.Un totale di 404 risposte complete sono state ricevute, 303dei rispondenti (75%) erano femmine, con un’eta’ media = 39(rango interquartile = 28–53) anni, un punteggio OSDI medio =19 (rango interquartile = 9–32). La prevalenza cruda di sintomida occhio secco (categoria tra moderato e severo) e’ stata del65% (95% CI = 62–75). La differenza in prevalenza tra maschie femmine e’ stata statisticamente significativa (chi-square test,p= 0.007).Il presente studio riporta che la frequenza di sintomi da oc-chio secco nel campione scelto di popolazione svedese e’ statodel 65%. I risultati sottolineano la necessita’ di investigare laprevalenza e i fattori di rischio dell’occhio secco nella popolazione svedese.
