Methods: All adult patients with patent osteotomies post-external dacryocystorhinostomy (Ex-DCR) or post-endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) for NLDO were included in this cross-sectional investigation.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of early death around the world, but not much research has been done about it in Malaysia.
- The study looked at health data from Malaysians aged 18 to 70 over several years to find out how different factors affect early CVD deaths.
