Popis: The global prevalence of allergic diseases has increased dramatically in recent decades. From a global health perspective, they have been considered as a major chronic disease, and the related social burden has also been increasing worldwide. In line with this trend, we investigated the short-term risk of incision surgery for eyelid inflammatory masses in pediatric and adolescent patients with allergic conjunctivitis (AC). The prevalence of AC and incision surgery showed a similar pattern of bimodal peaks during the spring and autumn of South Korea, reflecting the peak allergic seasons. The risk of incision surgery in patients with AC is 4.27 times higher than that of patients without AC and the risk of incision surgery among patients with AC is higher in age between 6-9 years and women. These findings strongly suggests that the incision surgery risk due to eyelid inflammation mass is higher in patients with AC than that of patients without AC. Furthermore, greater attention should be paid to its risk on the age between 6-9 years and women.
