3组患者的种族分布比较显示,在随机样本中,140例开角型青光眼患者中有115例(81.6%)为黑人,392例高眼压患者中有221例(56.4%)为黑人,2109例患者中有1028例(48.7%)为黑人。白人的平均诊断年龄显著高于黑人(69.1岁vs 63.7岁)(P = 0.006)。黑人原发性开角型青光眼患者的平均杯盘比明显大于黑人(P <0.05)。0.002)和较高但不显著较高的平均眼内压。在诊断时,黑人(129例患者中的43例或33.3%)比白人(27例患者中的5例或18.5%)更常见晚期青光眼视野丧失,但差异无显著性。
A comparison of racial distributions for 3 groups of patients showed that 115 of 140 patients (81.6%) with open-angle glaucoma, 221 of 392 patients (56.4%) with ocular hypertension, and 1028 of 2109 patients (48.7%) in a random sample were black. Average age at diagnosis was significantly (P = 0.006) higher for whites than for blacks (69.1 yr vs 63.7 yr). Black patients with primary open-angle glaucoma had a significantly larger mean cup-disk ratio (P .ltoreq. 0.002) and a higher but not significantly higher mean intraocular pressure at the time of diagnosis. Advanced glaucomatous visual field loss was more frequent at the time of diagnosis in blacks (43 of 129 patietns or 33.3%) than in whites (5 of 27 patients or 18.5%), but this difference was not significant.
