Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the potential association between glaucoma and peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The study recruited patients, including 101,309 with glaucoma and 1,860,528 without a glaucoma diagnosis, from a population of 2 million patients in the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. Propensity score matching was performed between the two groups, matching for age, sex, and comorbidities. In total, 95,575 patients with glaucoma and 95,575 patients without glaucoma were analyzed for their risk of developing peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The analysis of the data revealed that the glaucoma group had a higher incidence density (ID = 4.13) of peripheral arterial occlusive disease than the non-glaucoma group (ID = 3.42). The relative risk for the glaucoma group was 1.21 (95% C.I. = 1.15-1.28). Cox proportional hazard model analysis indicated that the glaucoma group had a higher risk of developing peripheral arterial occlusive disease (HR = 1.18; 95% C.I. = 1.12-1.25). The subgroup analysis of the risk of PAOD showed that the glaucoma group had a higher risk of developing peripheral arterial occlusive disease in the age group of 20 to 39 (p for interaction = 0.002). In conclusion, patients with glaucoma were associated with a higher risk of subsequent peripheral arterial occlusive disease compared with those without a diagnosis of glaucoma.
