Abstract

STUDY DESIGN:RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
PURPOSE:TO STUDY PREVELANCE AND EPIDEMIOLOGY OF OCULAR SURFACE SQUAMOUS NEOPLASIA
METHOD:A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF COHORT WAS CREATED.FORMAT CREATION & RETRIEVAL OF DATA FROM EMR & WAS ANALYSED WITH SPSS 22.DESCRIPTIVE AND CROSS TABULATION METHOD USED FOR ANALYSIS
RESULT:PREVALANCE OF OSSN IS 0.029%.70 PATIENTS WITH MEAN AGE 41.6 +/-15 YEARS.MALE 61.4% & FEMALE 37.1%.MAJORITY PATIENTS PRESENTED BETWEEN AGE OF 51-60 YEARS.65.7% CASES FROM RURAL AREAS.19(27.1%) PATIENTS RECEIVED MEDICAL TREATMENT & 49(70%) UNDERWENT SURGICAL INTERVENTION.WE FOUND CONJUNCTIVA INVOLVED IN 53(75.7%) ,FOLLOWED BY CONJUNCTIVA & CORNEAL INVOLVEMENT IN 9(12.9%) & CORNEAL INVOLVEMENT IN 7(10%) & IN CONJUNCTIVA & LID 1(1.4%)
CONCLUSION:OSSN IS RELATIVELY RARE ENTITY AT OUR INSTITUTE.MALES ARE AT HIGHER RISK DUE TO MORE OUTDOOR HOURS & EXPOSURE TO UV-B RAYS(RISK FACTOR).IT CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED WITH PROPER TREATMENT
