Risk for Exfoliation Syndrome in Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse : A Utah Project on Exfoliation Syndrome (UPEXS) Study.

The diagnosis of exfoliation syndrome was more frequent in women with pelvic organ prolapse in the Utah Population Database, a robust population-based resource, thus supporting an association of exfoliation syndrome with a nonocular systemic condition.

Association of Exfoliation Syndrome With Risk of Indirect Inguinal Hernia: The Utah Project on Exfoliation Syndrome.

Inguinal hernia was associated with an increased risk of XFS in this Utah population. Further work is needed to understand the pathophysiology, genetics, and environmental factors contributing to both diseases.

Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Exfoliation Syndrome: The Utah Project on Exfoliation Syndrome.

Patients with OSA may be at an increased risk of XFS compared with patients without OSA, particularly in patients with a history of HTN.

Risk of atrial fibrillation is increased in patients with exfoliation syndrome: the Utah project on exfoliation syndrome (UPEXS).

Exfoliation syndrome patients were at a statistically significant increased risk of atrial fibrillation. Similarly, atrial fibrillation patients were at a statistically significant higher risk of exfoliation, particularly when hypertension history was absent.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm and exfoliation syndrome: A literature review comparing single site findings.

This systematic review revealed inconsistent results regarding an association between AAA and XFS. A large database study including XFS and AAA patients would be useful in further determining if an association does in fact exist.

Identifiable Historic and Observable Factors May Predict Progression to Exfoliation Glaucoma in Newly Diagnosed Exfoliation Patients.

We determined a set of clinically relevant factors that predicted which newly diagnosed XFS patients progressed to XFG within 3 years.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm and exfoliation syndrome in Utah.

Our findings do not support an association between AAA and XFS/XFG.
