Factors associated with delayed uptake of cataract surgery among adult patients at Mulago National Referral Hospital, Uganda
Background: Cataract is the leading cause of blindness globally. Many patients with cataract in developing countries delay to come for cataract surgery. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with delayed uptake of cataract surgery among adult patients seen at Mulago Nation...

| description | Background: Cataract is the leading cause of blindness globally. Many
patients with cataract in developing countries delay to come for
cataract surgery. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the factors
associated with delayed uptake of cataract surgery among adult patients
seen at Mulago National Referral Hospital eye clinic in Uganda.
Methods: Employing a hospital based cross-sectional study, adult
patients with cataract and having moderate visual impairment or
blindness were recruited. Patient-related factors for delayed surgery
were assessed using a predetermined questionnaire. Data was analyzed
using stata version 14.2. Logistic regressions were used to determine
the factors associated with delayed uptake of cataract surgery among
these patients. Results: Eighty two participants with operable cataract
were evaluated. Females were 44 (54%) and the mean age of participants
was 67 years. Fifty three (65%) had delayed uptake of cataract surgery.
The factors associated with delayed uptake of cataract surgery among
patients with cataract were financial constraint, felt no need for
surgery and good unilateral vision. Conclusions: Financial constraints,
no felt need for cataract surgery and having good unilateral vision are
the factors associated with delayed uptake of cataract surgery among
cataract patients. We recommend cataract surgical outreach to remote
areas and health education. |
