Data on patients aged 75– 85 were compared to those of patients older than 85 years and those recorded between 2008– 2013 and 2014– 2018.Results: A total of 592 patients were included, of whom 55% were males. The mean±standard deviation age of the cohort at presentation was 80.4± 4.60 years, and the mean visual acuity was 1.3± 0.93 logMAR. The main indications for surgery were retinal detachment (n=117, 19.7%), epiretinal-membrane/vitreomacular traction (n=140, 23.6%), dropped intraocular lens/retained lens (n=89, 15%), macular hole (n=64, 11%), submacular hemorrhage (n=40, 6.7%), diagnostic vitrectomy (n=37, 6.2%), non-diabetic vitreous hemorrhage (n=30, 5.1%), and diabetic vitreous hemorrhage and other diabetic complications (n=33, 5.6%). Patients aged 85 years and older had higher rates of urgent surgeries (65%), such as for submacular hemorrhage and trauma (p=0.0000039 and p=0.001, respectively), and lower rates of non-urgent surgeries, such as for epiretinal membrane and macular hole (p=0.000032 and p=0.02, respectively), compared to patients aged 75– 84 years. Additionally, the surgical rate for submacular hemorrhage decreased during 2008– 2014 compared to 2014– 2018 (p=0.000014).Conclusion: Understanding the unique distribution of indications for vitrectomy among elderly patients is essential for appropriate management and treatment. Urgent cases represent 65% of the surgeries performed in the older population.Keywords: aged, epidemiology, pars plana vitrectomyElyashiv SFogel Levin MZloto ONeimark ENajjar RMoisseiev JVidne-Hay ODove Medical Pressarticleagedepidemiologypars plana vitrectomyGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 16, Pp 1007-1012 (2021)
