Trauma incidence of RB patients
We reviewed the computerized diagnostic records of consecutive patients with RB managed at the ocular oncology service of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, between January 2013 and August 2018. The charts of those patients who had undergone trauma before diagnosis of RB were selected. In addition, we identified the preschool-aged children (age 0-6 years) who underwent surgical treatment for ocular trauma at our hospital during the corresponding period. Then, we calculated the incidence of trauma among RB patients.
