Abstrakt:	Purpose: To examine social factors associated with the 5-year risk of glaucoma suspects (GS) converting to open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Subjects: We screened for participants diagnosed with GS in the All of Us database. Cases that converted to OAG within 5 years of GS diagnosis (the "conversion group") were compared with control cases that did not convert. Methods: Demographic, socioeconomic and health-care utilization data of the cases were extracted and compared between the conversion group and the control group. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to identify potential factors associated with the risk of conversion. Main Outcome Measures: Hazard ratios (HRs) of significant factors associated with the risk of conversion. Results: A total of 5274 GS participants were identified, and 786 (15%) cases converted to OAG within 5-year follow-up. The 2 groups showed significant differences in age, race, gender, employment status, income/education level, history of intraocular surgery, and health-care utilization patterns. In the multivariable model, African American/Black race (HR : 1.70 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.44-2.00]), older age at GS diagnosis (1.17 [95% CI, 1.09-1.25]), male gender (1.30 [95% CI, 1.13-1.50], no history of recreational drug use (1.23 [1.07-1.42]), history of intraocular surgery (1.60 [95% CI, 1.02-1.53]), and having more reasons for delayed health-care access (2.27 [95% CI, 1.23-4.18]) were associated with a greater hazard of conversion, while being employed (0.71 [95% CI, 0.60-0.86]) was associated with a smaller hazard of conversion (P < 0.05 for all). Conclusions: Several social factors were associated with the conversion from GS to OAG, which may help to identify patients at higher risk of disease progression. Future studies are needed to examine the basis for these findings and the potential interventions that could address them.
