Abstract: Objetivo. Demostrar que la altitud geográfica constituye un factor
asociado al desarrollo de Pterigión.
Material y métodos. Estudio de corte transversal en los poblados de
Trujillo (nivel del mar) y Huamachuco (3169 msnm), mediante una campaña de
despistaje de Pterigión en 514 personas en Trujillo y en 158 de Huamachuco,
mayores de edad, previo consentimiento informado. Se realizó evaluación ocular
no invasiva con lámpara de hendidura portátil, buscando la presencia de
patología, el ojo y polo ocular afectado y el grado. Se consultaron las variables
demográficas (edad, sexo, estado civil, ocupación, exposición al polvo,
residencia urbana o rural, consumo de bebidas alcohólicas y tabaco, nivel de
instrucción e historia familiar de Pterigión) por medio de 10 preguntas directas
de opción múltiple. Se procesó la información mediante el software IBM SPSS
Statistics 23, realizando un análisis univariado, bivariado y multivariado,
considerando IC 95% y p<0.05.
Resultados. La prevalencia global del Pterigión es de 15.8% (≥
3000msnm de 27.8%). El análisis bivariado arroja como factores asociados a la
altitud geográfica ≥ 3000 msnm (OR: 2.460, p<0.001, IC 95% [1.70-3.54]), la
edad ≥ 65 años, residencia en regiones rurales, la labor al aire libre, la exposición
al polvo, el tabaquismo y el antecedente familiar de Pterigión. El análisis
multivariado identificó como factores independientemente asociados a la edad ≥
65 años, la residencia en región rural y el antecedente familiar de Pterigión.
Conclusiones. El Pterigión es un problema de salud pública, en el que la
altitud geográfica ≥ 3000 msnm multiplica por 2.46 el riesgo de desarrollarlo; sin
embargo, no es un factor independientemente asociado.
Purpose. Demonstrate that geographic altitude is a factor associated to Pterygium development. Methods. A cross-sectional study carried out in the villages of Trujillo (sea level) and Huamachuco (3169 masl), through a screening campaign conducted in 514 people in Trujillo and in 158 settlers in Huamachuco, with prior informed consent. A non invasive ocular evaluation with a portable slit lamp was performed, looking for the presence of pathology, the affected eye, the affected eye pole and the grade of Pterygium. We supplement the information with questions about demographic variables (age, sex, marital status, occupation, exposure to dust, urban or rural residence, consumption of alcoholic beverages and tobacco, instruction level and family history of Pterygium) by 10 direct questions. The information was processed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software, performing an univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis, considering IC 95% and p<0.05. Results. The overall prevalence of the Pterygium is 15.8% (27.8% at ≥ 3000masl). The bivariate analysis shows as factors associated with Pterygium development the geographic altitude ≥ 3000masl (OR: 2.460, p <0.001, 95% CI [1.70-3.54]), age ≥ 65 years, residence in rural regions, outdoor work, exposure to dust, smoking and family history of Pterygium. The multivariate analysis identified as independent associated factors age ≥ 65 years, residence in rural region and family history of Pterygium. Conclusions. Pterygium is a public health problem. The altitude ≥ 3000msnm increases the risk of developing in 2.46 times; however, it is not an independent associated factor.
