No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Purpose: Central serous retinopathy (CSCR) is characterized by macular detachment due to thickened choroid mostly affecting young men under perceived stress. While most previous studies in CSCR have been retrospective and have focused on a single facet of the patient's personality, the investigators conducted a prospective intercontinental controlled study to analyze the multifaceted personality profile in CSCR.

Design: Prospective interview. Participants and Controls: Subjects with CSCR consented to participate in a questionnaire. Controls not having retinal disease were recruited from the same clinic.

Main Outcome Measures: The main parameters registered were presence of stress, daily number of cups caffeine intake, personality traits (Type A; obsessive-compulsive; aggressive).

Methods: The interview consisted of a 60-item questionnaire. Recruitment of participants was from January 2015 to February 2016. Controls were matched for age, gender and race. Statistical analyses were done using univariate and multivariate analysis.
