The forces of adhesion between the two layers can be divided into mechanical and metabolic. Mechanical factors in turn are divided into those outside and those inside the subretinal space (SRS). Mechanical forces outside the SRS include fluid pressures and vitreous. Fluid exits the eye through the trabecular meshwork; however, a small proportion tends to exit from the vitreous to the choroid by the intraocular and choroidal oncotic pressures. Research Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort study (COHORT) was conducted On a random group of patients from January 2022 to May 2023. The final sample size was 150participants, with a confidence interval of 95%. Every participant has signed the informed consent. Results The sample included 150 patients who suffered from retinal detachment. 28.66% were females and 71.33% were males. We find that there is a tendency to suffer from retinal detachment in males more than in females, with a ratio of about 3:1 in favor of males. Most of the cases were without a history of eye surgery (69.33%), the largest remaining percentage had a history of previous cataract surgery (21.33%), and the remaining percentage had a history of surgery as a result of eye trauma (9.33%). Diabetes was the most frequent cause of retinal detachment (33.12%). Severe myopia was the cause of retinal detachment in 8.12% of cases, while moderate myopia was the cause in 3.12%, and a lower percentage of mild myopia was 1.25%. Conclusion Retinal detachment is considered a vision-threatening condition. Our study showed that the disease in Syria has characteristics similar to the global characteristics, but is more severe. Several factors are useful in predicting the development of this disease, including the patient's age, which is the most important factor, in addition to diabetes, myopia, and penetrating trauma, which is also an important factor. Ophthalmology Retinal detachment diabetes myopia Background Retinal detachment is the separation of the neurosensory retina (NSR) from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). These two layers are derived from the neuroectoderm that lines the optic vesicle during embryogenesis. As the optic vesicle invaginates to form the optic cup, the two layers come in apposition. The inner layer differentiates into the NSR and the outer into RPE. No real anatomic junctions form between the cells of the two layers. Therefore, the forces of attachment of the NSR to RPE are weak, and once overwhelmed, a retinal detachment occurs that reestablishes the potential space between the two layers.[ 1 ] The forces of adhesion between the two layers can be divided into mechanical and metabolic. Mechanical factors in turn are divided into those outside and those inside the subretinal space (SRS).[ 2 ] Mechanical forces outside the SRS include fluid pressures and vitreous. Fluid exits the eye through the trabecular meshwork; however, a small proportion tends to exit from the vitreous to the choroid by the intraocular and choroidal oncotic pressures.[ 3 – 4 ] Because the retina and RPE substantially resist fluid transport, the outward vector of fluid movement tends to push the retina against the RPE.[ 5 – 6 ] Likewise, a drug that increases the vitreous oncotic pressure tends to withdraw fluid into the vitreous from the choroid through the retina. This inward vector of fluid movement could lead to retinal separation from the RPE because of retinal resistance to flow.[ 7 – 8 ] Research Materials and Methods Aim of our study Our study aims to shed light on the causes of retinal detachment and its common patterns, in addition to the risk factors and symptoms of this disorder through patients attending Damascus Hospital. Study design, setting, and participants A retrospective cohort study (COHORT) was conducted On a random group of patients from January 2022 to May 2023. The research approval (CV 8211) was given by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Syrian Private University, Syria. A paper questionnaire was conducted based on a review of patient files in the hospital's medical records department and extracted the information and data necessary to complete our study. Accordingly, the questionnaire was filled out and the data was reviewed under the supervision of the research supervisor. The final sample size was 150 participants depending on the Raosoft site [9], with a confidence interval of 95%. Every participant has signed the informed consent. Inclusion criteria - patients attended to Damascus hospital - only patients with retinal detachment Ethics approval and consent to participate Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethical Committee of the Syrian Private University, the necessary approval was provided to Damascus Hospital, and permission was obtained from the hospital to review patients’ files. Statistical Analysis: We used Excel 2010, and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, United States). P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. We relied on frequency, percentages, and graphs for categorical variables, meanwhile, for continuous variables, standard deviation, range, and median were used. For the statistical relationships, we used the Chi-square test (X2-test) Descriptive statistics consists of studying the data of the study variables and studying some statistics such as the arithmetic mean, median, and standard deviation. Results 1-Socio-demographic data The sample included 150 patients who suffered from retinal detachment. 28.66% were females and 71.33% were males. We find that there is a tendency to suffer from retinal detachment in males more than in females, with a ratio of about 3:1 in favor of males. Participants are classified into seven groups according to age. The arithmetic mean age when retinal detachment occurs among patients is 66 years, with a standard deviation of about ∓ 5.32, and by statistical analysis, we do not find a statistically significant association between the incidence and age. Regarding the distribution of the sample according to habits, 75.33% were smokers and 24.66% were non-smokers. So As a result, there was a statistically significant association between smoking and retinal detachment, regardless of other predispositions, gender, or age group. We also investigated the medical and surgical history of patients who had retinal detachment and found that most cases were related to diabetes, whether alone (44.66%) or in combination with high blood pressure (32.66%), while isolated high blood pressure had a lower percentage (11.33%). A small percentage of cases had asthma (4%) or sickle cell disease (1.30%), and thus we find a statistically significant association between diabetes and the development of retinal detachment, regardless of the type of detachment. Most of the cases were without a history of eye surgery (69.33%), the largest remaining percentage had a history of previous cataract surgery (21.33%), and the remaining percentage had a history of surgery as a result of eye trauma (9.33%).

As for surgical history, it is common in advanced ages as well, especially in the seventh decade of life. Poor refraction function was the cause at relatively early ages, especially in the third decade. And the fourth decade of life. Penetrating trauma was the cause at different ages, but they were seen with us in the second, fourth, and fifth decades. Posterior vitreous detachment was seen with us in the fourth decade of life, and finally, sickle cell disease, which was seen with us in only two cases in the second decade of life. 9-Relationship between sex and cause retinal detachment To study this relationship, the chi-square test for independence was applied.

Discussion After reviewing several previous studies related to retinal detachment, it was found that: The incidence rate of retinal detachment in males is more common than in females, according to the AUSTIN [10] study in the United States of America, where the incidence rate in males was 53% and in females 47%. Also in the same study, the average age of patients was 65 years. In our study, the incidence rate of retinal detachment for males was 71.33%, and for females was 28.66%. And The average age of patients was 58.43%. Our study showed that the average age for traumatic injuries is 38.78 and for non-traumatic injuries is 66.08. This is similar to the GOFFESTEIN [11] study, which was also conducted in the United States of America. When studying medical history, the percentage of patients suffering from high blood pressure in our study was 16.875%, while in AUSTIN [10] study, which we discussed previously, the percentage of patients suffering from high blood pressure was 27.7%. Study of the relationship between the degree of myopia and spontaneous detachment: We found a strong direct relationship between the degree of myopia and spontaneous myopia, as the more severe the degree of myopia, the greater the percentage of myopia in patients. The percentage of patients who had severe myopia (more than 7) in our study was 8.12%, while in the HALILOVIC [12] study which was conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the percentage of patients with severe myopia was 81%. When studying the location of retinal detachment in our study, the highest percentage of retinal detachment was in the superior temporal quadrant at 66.88%, while in the BYER [13] study in the United States of America, the highest percentage of retinal detachment was in the lower temporal quadrant at 50%. Our study showed that the percentage of patients who had previous ocular surgery was 21.87%, while in the KWON [14] study in Switzerland, the percentage of patients who had previous ocular surgery was 5%. Also, in the same previous study, the percentage of patients who had retinal detachment as a result of trauma was 31%, while in our study the percentage was 8.75%. Limitations - A large number of files and the lack of sufficient information for study hindered the process of collecting cases - There are difficulties in accessing some files of patients admitted to cardiac care - Some files do not include complete clinical tests, which created difficulty in selecting the files included. Conclusion Retinal detachment is considered a vision-threatening condition. Our study showed that the disease in Syria has characteristics similar to the global characteristics, but is more severe. Several factors are useful in predicting the development of this disease, including the patient's age, which is the most important factor, in addition to diabetes, myopia, and penetrating trauma, which is also an important factor.

These two layers are derived from the neuroectoderm that lines the optic vesicle during embryogenesis. As the optic vesicle invaginates to form the optic cup, the two layers come in apposition. The inner layer differentiates into the NSR and the outer into RPE. No real anatomic junctions form between the cells of the two layers. Therefore, the forces of attachment of the NSR to RPE are weak, and once overwhelmed, a retinal detachment occurs that reestablishes the potential space between the two layers.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe forces of adhesion between the two layers can be divided into mechanical and metabolic.

Penetrating trauma was the cause at different ages, but they were seen with us in the second, fourth, and fifth decades.
