NAION Cases
Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). From the study population, patients with a claim associated with an ischemic optic neuropathy diagnosis code were identified as potential NAION cases (n = 3,732). From the potential NAION cases, definite and possible NAION cases were identified using medical record review and a claims algorithm (n=1,283). Data from definite and possible NAION cases contributed to the analysis.
Controls
From the study population, patients without a claim associated with an ischemic optic neuropathy diagnosis code were randomly selected as controls (n = 20,000)

Categorized by risk factors of age (years) and sex (male or female). Incidence rate ratio and the 95% confidence interval adjusted for all the other covariates in the table.

Combined NAION Cases and Controls
n=57 Participants
NAION cases: from the study population, patients with a claim associated with an ischemic optic neuropathy diagnosis code were identified as potential NAION cases (n = 3,732). From the potential NAION cases, definite and possible NAION cases were identified using medical record review and a claims algorithm (n=1,283). Data from definite and possible NAION cases contributed to the analysis. Controls: from the study population, patients without a claim associated with an ischemic optic neuropathy diagnosis code were randomly selected as controls (n = 20,000).

Timeframe: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

Population: Participant population with definite and possible NAION cases identified by medical record review. N=number of participants with recurrence of visual symptoms; (n)=number of participants for variable (age or sex) for NAION cases and estimated person-years \[(n=NAION cases) / person-years\].
