Abstract
Aim – to identify and quantify risk factors for neoplasms of the eye and its accessory apparatus and to develop a prognostic model for determining risk groups for their occurrence.
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the data of patients with benign and malignant neoplasms of the eye and its accessory apparatus was carried out. The sample was carried out using a continuous method. Risk factors were identified and analyzed using contingency tables; χ2 criterion, relative risk, additional risk and population risk were calculated, and a risk model was constructed using the classification tree construction method.
Results. Key risk factors were identified: alcohol consumption, race, burdened family history, presence of large and irregular moles, freckles, use of sun beds, outdoor work. Belonging to the Caucasian race, the presence of large moles and excessive tanning have the greatest impact on the risk of developing tumors.
Conclusion. The constructed risk model can serve as a population selection algorithm for planning activities in the work of prevention departments, health centers, and primary care physicians during screening to form target populations in need of preventive measures, lifestyle correction, and timely diagnosis of neoplasms of the eye and its accessory apparatus.
