PURPOSE: To assess the association between retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and mortality in a population-based setting. DESIGN: Population-based, longitudinal study. METHODS: At baseline in 2001, the Beijing Eye Study examined 4,335 subjects for RVO with a frequency of detected vein occlusions of 61 (1.4%) in 4,335 subjects. In 2006, all study participants were invited for a follow-up examination. RESULTS: Of the 4,335 subjects, 3,195 (73.7%) returned for follow-up examination, whereas 132 (3.0%) subjects had died and 1,008 (23.3%) subjects declined to be re-examined or had moved away. For the subjects younger than 70 years or than 65 years, respectively, RVO was associated significantly with an increased mortality rate (P = .05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.995 to 8.26; and P = .001; 95% CI, 2.11 to 18.73, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: RVO in relatively young persons may signal a significant risk of mortality.
