Purpose: To determine demographics and visual acuity for patients with newly diagnosed central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) as captured in the IRIS Registry.
Methods: We identified patients with a new diagnosis of CSCR between 2017 and 2018 in the IRIS Registry. We investigated patient characteristics (age, sex, and race/ethnicity) associated with CSCR, and visual acuity (VA) at time of first diagnosis and routine follow-up visits. We processed multivariate regressions to analyze the odds of developing CSCR relative to all patients in the IRIS Registry database.
Results: 28,323 patients were newly diagnosed with CSCR between 2017 and 2018 in the IRIS Registry. The majority of patients with new CSCR were male (68.54%), and the decade with the most CSCR diagnoses was 51-60 years (23.68%). Mean VA at time of diagnosis was 0.29 logMAR (about 20/40) which decreased onlyslightly to 0.33 logMAR 1 year following diagnosis. Compared to patients in the IRIS Registry without CSCR, patients with CSCR were more likely to be of Asian (Odds ratio (OR) 1.65, p < 0.001) or Hispanic descent (OR1.5, p < 0.001) using White as a reference, and were more likely to have Commercial (OR 1.12, p <0.001) or Military (OR 1.29, p <0.001) insurance compared to Medicare, Medicaid (using no insurance as a reference).
Conclusions: According to the IRIS Registry, patients with newly diagnosed CSCR were most commonly middle-aged male, of Asian or Hispanic descent, and with commercial or military insurance. Initial VA at diagnosis was 20/40, and this was relatively stable 1 year following diagnosis.
