Abstract:	Purpose:To investigate the risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) after central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).Methods:The study included 2882 CSCR patients and 17,292 control patients matched by age, sex, number of visits to an ophthalmologist, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia from January 2001 to December 2010 from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000. Information for each patient was collected until December 2011. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to obtain the adjusted hazard ratio for RVO. The RVO-free survival rate was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results:There was a significantly higher risk of RVO in CSCR patients than in controls (incidence rate ratio = 3.07, 95% confidence interval = 1.86-5.07). After adjustment for potential confounders, the adjusted hazard ratio for developing RVO in the CSCR patients was 3.15 times higher than that of the controls (adjusted hazard ratio = 3.15, 95% confidence interval = 1.91-5.21).Conclusion:Central serous chorioretinopathy increases the risk of RVO. For CSCR patients, the authors recommend thorough retinal vessel evaluation, regular follow-up, and education regarding RVO for patients with CSCR.
