PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate pseudoexfoliation (PXF) as an independent risk factor for the occurrence of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study on the records of 300 PXF glaucoma patients (PXF group), 300 non-PXF glaucoma patients, and 599 nonglaucoma non-PXF (nGnP group) patients. RESULTS: Multivariate analysis resulted in a significant probability for RVO in the PXF (p = 0.005; OR 2.29 [1.13-4.68]) and non-PXF glaucoma groups (p = 0.005; OR 3.03 [1.55-5.94]) compared to the nGnP group. There was a much higher probability for central RVO (CRVO) in the PXF (p = 0.013; OR 3.64 [1.39-9.49]) and non-PXF glaucoma groups (p = 0.013; OR 3.78 [1.48-9.65]) compared to the nGnP group. After matching and excluding neovascular glaucoma, no significant difference was found between the PXF and non-PXF glaucoma groups regarding RVO (p = 0.541), CRVO (p = 0.092), and branch RVO (p = 0.774). CONCLUSIONS: PXF and other types of glaucoma are associated with RVOs, mainly CRVO. PXF was not found to be an independent risk factor for CRVO.
