Abstract

Objective: To evaluate clinico-demographic profile of hypertensive retinopathy cases in a tertiary care hospital of South Odisha, India. Materials and methods: This was a Cross-sectional study conducted in the department of Ophthalmology, SLN Medical College, Koraput (Odisha) from July 2021 to February 2022. A total of 226 hypertensive patients were examined out of which 100 were found to manifest hypertensive retinopathy changes. These 100 patients were further evaluated and analyzed. Sample size of the study was 100 number of hypertensive retinopathy patients. Different investigations done in the patients are Visual acuity, refraction, BP measurement, Tonometry, Fundus examination, Gonioscopy, B scan, Renal profile, Blood sugar estimation. Demographic parameters like sources of cases, age, gender, area wise distribution. The cases were again assessed to find out level of hypertension control, duration since hypertensive etc. Results: Hypertensive retinopathy grading distribution among hypertensives with controlled blood pressure was 56.25%, 31.25% and 12.50% into Grade I, II and III respectively, showing lesser incidence of end organ damage with better control of blood pressure levels. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between increasing age, blood pressure levels and severity of sclerotic changes with severity of retinopathy.
