Diagnostic and clinical management guidelines are strictly dependent on nature of laterality. This analysis aims to characterize the influence of laterality on survival in patients diagnosed with retinoblastoma.Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program for population-based clinical data from 1975 to 2016, a period of 41 years. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression assessed survival with laterality as the primary independent predictor of mortality. Adjustment for demographical and clinical variables was performed.Results: N = 1925 patients with a valid cause of death classification. Mean±SD age was 2.35± 2.020 years (range 0– 74). At the time of diagnosis, 819 (42.1%) patients were between 0 and 1 year of age, 469 (24.1%) patients were between 1 and 2 years, 350 (18.0%) patients were between 2 and 3 years, 147 (7.6%) patients were between 3 and 4 years, and 68 (3.5%) patients were between 4 and 5 years of age. The hazard of univariable cause-specific death is 55.6% and 52.9% lower for retinoblastoma patients with left-sided origin and right-sided origin as compared to patients with bilateral origin, respectively (HR = 0.444, CI 0.247– 0.800, p = 0.007; HR = 0.471, CI 0.267– 0.832, p = 0.009). After adjusting for confounding variables, the hazard of other-cause death for retinoblastoma patients is significantly less for left-sided origin (HR = 0.364, CI 0.140– 0.946, p = 0.038) and right-sided origin (HR = 0.190, CI 0.066– 0.549, p = 0.002) as compared to patients with retinoblastomas of bilateral origin.Conclusion: Prognostication of survival is significantly influenced by the nature of laterality in retinoblastoma. Unilateral retinoblastomas showcase increased promise for long-term cause-specific and other-cause survival compared to cases of retinoblastoma arising from bilateral origin.Keywords: retinoblastoma, survival, lateralityHussain ZDove Medical PressarticleretinoblastomasurvivallateralityOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 991-1001 (2021)
